Inside This Veterans Report on UVM:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 280 GI Bill® students at UVM. Because the school enrolls 11,614, around 2.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
