Our Veterans Report on PAFA:
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 7 GI Bill® students at PAFA. Given that enrollment at the school is 99, nearly 7.1% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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.
