Info in This Veterans Report on Post University:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 1,030 GI Bill® students at Post University. Because the school enrolls 18,975, roughly 5.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to 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. Veterans make up 1.4% of all students at Post University, based on College Scorecard data.
