According to the VA, there are 3 GI Bill® students at SIUE. There are 12,860 students enrolled at SIUE. This means that approximately 0.02% use the GI Bill® to help pay for tuition, fees, and other expenses. For context, let's take this into consideration.

Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment).
