Our Veterans Report on Xavier:
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 204 GI Bill® students at Xavier. With a total enrollment of 4,723, nearly 4.3% of the student body is 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. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
