What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on UofL:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 1,088 GI Bill® students at UofL. As the school’s total enrollment is 14,187, nearly 7.7% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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. Veteran students account for 0.2% of the student body at UofL, based on College Scorecard data.
