Our Veterans Report on URichmond:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 59 GI Bill® students at URichmond. Since the total enrollment at the school is 3,002, approximately 2.0% 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). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
