by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. Here we lay out the facts about Trinity University veteran students to support your research.

What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Trinity U:
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 78 GI Bill® students at Trinity U. Because the school enrolls 2,518, nearly 3.1% 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). It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
