Our Veterans Report on UD:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 74 GI Bill® students at UD. With a total enrollment of 1,403, approximately 5.3% 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.
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.
