Our Veterans Report on U Miami:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 505 GI Bill® students at U Miami. As the school’s total enrollment is 12,570, approximately 4.0% 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. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
