According to the VA, there are 20 GI Bill® students at UH Downtown. There are 15,239 students enrolled at UH Downtown. This means that approximately 0.13% use the GI Bill® to help pay for tuition, fees, and other expenses. For context, let's take this into consideration.

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).
