Inside This Veterans Report on UM Flint:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 268 GI Bill® students at UM Flint. Since the total enrollment at the school is 4,157, about 6.4% of the student body is 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
