by our College Data Analytics TeamBefore you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about Union University veteran students to support your research.

Our Veterans Report on Union:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 80 GI Bill® students at Union. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,637, roughly 4.9% 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.
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.
