What’s Covered in Our Report on UNH:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 487 GI Bill® students at UNH. Given that enrollment at the school is 11,230, nearly 4.3% 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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. Veterans make up 0.3% of those enrolled at UNH, based on College Scorecard data.
