A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 52 GI Bill® students at SUNY Maritime College. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,242, approximately 4.2% of the student body is 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.
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 service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
