Info in This Veterans Report on ESF:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 55 GI Bill® students at ESF. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,725, roughly 3.2% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
