Info in This Veterans Report on Spring Arbor:
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 76 GI Bill® students at Spring Arbor. Given that enrollment at the school is 990, about 7.7% of the students 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). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 1.4% of those enrolled at Spring Arbor, based on College Scorecard data.
