What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Regent:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Based on VA records, there are 1,492 GI Bill® students at Regent. Because the school enrolls 4,282, approximately 34.8% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. Veterans make up 1.1% of those enrolled at Regent, based on College Scorecard data.
