Our Veterans Report on UH Manoa:
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 1,631 GI Bill® students at UH Manoa. With a total enrollment of 14,306, around 11.4% of those enrolled 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.
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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veterans make up 0.4% of those enrolled at UH Manoa, per U.S. Department of Education data.
