Inside This Veterans Report on Salem:
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. Per VA data, there are 14 GI Bill® students at Salem. As the school’s total enrollment is 390, approximately 3.6% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
