Info in This Veterans Report on UEI College-Gardena:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. VA figures show 230 GI Bill® students at UEI College-Gardena. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,444, approximately 15.9% of students are 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 0.7% of the student body at UEI College-Gardena, based on College Scorecard data.
