Info in This Veterans Report on Seattle Central:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Based on VA records, there are 225 GI Bill® students at Seattle Central. As the school’s total enrollment is 3,879, about 5.8% of students are 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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. Veterans make up 1.6% of those enrolled at Seattle Central, per U.S. Department of Education data.
