What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on St. Ambrose University:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 97 GI Bill® students at St. Ambrose University. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,101, about 4.6% 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. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
