Info in This Veterans Report on UOHSC:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. Per VA data, there are 159 GI Bill® students at UOHSC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,143, approximately 13.9% of students are 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 number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, 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. About 0.5% of those enrolled at UOHSC, per U.S. Department of Education data.
