Info in This Veterans Report on Simpson College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 40 GI Bill® students at Simpson College. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,130, roughly 3.5% of students are 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
