Our Veterans Report on OSU-OKC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 331 GI Bill® students at OSU-OKC. Because the school enrolls 3,424, around 9.7% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veteran students account for 1.1% of all students at OSU-OKC, per U.S. Department of Education data.
