Info in This Veterans Report on Seattle U:
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 271 GI Bill® students at Seattle U. Given that enrollment at the school is 4,117, about 6.6% of those enrolled 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.
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). It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
