Inside This Veterans Report on St. Edward’s University:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 149 GI Bill® students at St. Edward’s University. Because the school enrolls 2,729, about 5.5% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
