Inside This Veterans Report on Rockhurst:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 86 GI Bill® students at Rockhurst. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,702, roughly 5.1% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
