What’s Covered in Our Report on UC:
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 1,211 GI Bill® students at UC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 29,094, around 4.2% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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 excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veteran students account for 0.5% of those enrolled at UC, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
