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 173 GI Bill® students at UW - River Falls. With a total enrollment of 4,152, about 4.2% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
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.
