Inside This Veterans Report on UNF:
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 1,484 GI Bill® students at UNF. As the school’s total enrollment is 13,915, around 10.7% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
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). Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veterans make up 0.5% of those enrolled at UNF, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
