Our Veterans Report on Suffolk:
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 143 GI Bill® students at Suffolk. As the school’s total enrollment is 4,434, roughly 3.2% 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.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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.
