What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on RSI:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 282 GI Bill® students at RSI. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,271, nearly 22.2% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 4.3% of all students at RSI, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 77.4% | 66.8% |
| Transfer-out rate | 9.7% | — |
