Our Veterans Report on Union College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 15 GI Bill® students at Union College. With a total enrollment of 2,070, roughly 72.5% of the students 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
