by our College Data Analytics TeamIf you’re a veteran who is thinking about going back to school, it’s important to see how well the school treats its students with prior military service first. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about Baptist University of Florida veteran students to help you make your college decision.

Info in This Veterans Report on BCF:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 10 GI Bill® students at BCF. Given that enrollment at the school is 248, roughly 4.0% of students are 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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.
