What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on UNM Gallup:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 64 GI Bill® students at UNM Gallup. With a total enrollment of 891, approximately 7.2% 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, 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 0.4% of those enrolled at UNM Gallup, based on College Scorecard data.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
