Our Veterans Report on Stockton State:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 262 GI Bill® students at Stockton State. Because the school enrolls 7,770, approximately 3.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
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. Veteran students account for 0.6% of those enrolled at Stockton State, per U.S. Department of Education data.
