Our Veterans Report on SFASU:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 493 GI Bill® students at SFASU. Because the school enrolls 8,746, around 5.6% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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. Veteran students account for 0.3% of those enrolled at SFASU, based on College Scorecard data.
