Info in This Veterans Report on U-M:
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 886 GI Bill® students at U-M. With a total enrollment of 33,488, around 2.6% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. About 0.2% of all students at U-M, per U.S. Department of Education data.
