by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about SUNY Oneonta veteran students to support your research.

What’s Covered in Our Report on SUNY Oneonta:
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 48 GI Bill® students at SUNY Oneonta. Because the school enrolls 4,820, approximately 99.6% 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
