What’s Covered in Our Report on UNT Health Science Center:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 54 GI Bill® students at UNT Health Science Center. As the school’s total enrollment is 17, about 317.6% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
