What’s Covered in Our Report on USJ:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 36 GI Bill® students at USJ. Because the school enrolls 825, around 4.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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.
