Our Veterans Report on UST MN:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 210 GI Bill® students at UST MN. Since the total enrollment at the school is 6,014, roughly 3.5% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
