Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 378 GI Bill® students at South Carolina State University. As the school’s total enrollment is 2,757, nearly 13.7% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
