Our Veterans Report on Valpo:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 43 GI Bill® students at Valpo. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,229, approximately 1.9% of those enrolled 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
