by our College Data Analytics TeamBefore you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. Here we lay out the facts about Stetson University veteran students to support your research.

Info in This Veterans Report on Stetson:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 144 GI Bill® students at Stetson. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,292, approximately 6.3% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
