What’s Covered in Our Report on SUNY Geneseo:
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 46 GI Bill® students at SUNY Geneseo. Since the total enrollment at the school is 3,855, roughly 1.2% of the students are 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. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
