What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Saint Paul College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 83 GI Bill® students at Saint Paul College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 3,607, roughly 2.3% of the student body is 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 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. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. About 0.6% of all students at Saint Paul College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.

|---|---|---|
