Inside This Veterans Report on Savannah State University:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 307 GI Bill® students at Savannah State University. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,727, nearly 11.3% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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.
