Our Veterans Report on Sterling College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 19 GI Bill® students at Sterling College. As the school’s total enrollment is 569, about 3.3% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
