According to the VA, there are 8 GI Bill® students at Southside College of Health Sciences. Given that enrollment at the school is 91, around 8.8% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

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 excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
