Our Veterans Report on Stanford:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 245 GI Bill® students at Stanford. Since the total enrollment at the school is 7,841, about 3.1% 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.
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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
