How Does U-M Rank for Veterans?
University of Michigan - Ann Arbor was not included in this year's [Best Schools for Veterans ranking[(/rankings/veterans). This could be due to a number of reasons, including insufficent data.
How Many Veterans Go to U-M?
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 570 GI Bill® students at U-M. Since the total enrollment at the school is 47,907, approximately 1.19% of the students at U-M are utilizing the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. Putting that into perspective, the Student Veterans of America estimates that about three-four percent of all college students in America are veterans.
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). This does not include active-duty military personnel who are attending the college via Tuition Assistance. Therefore, the potential total military population could be larger than this.
