Info in This Veterans Report on SUNO:
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 64 GI Bill® students at SUNO. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,095, nearly 5.8% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
