From National University: “Approximately 62% of student Veterans and servicemembers are first-generation college students, compared to just 43% of non-military-affiliated students. This statistic highlights the unique challenges and opportunities faced by military-affiliated learners as they navigate higher education, often without the guidance of family members who have attended college before … 1 in 3 Veterans have earned at least a bachelor’s degree, a slightly lower rate than the national population age 25 or older.”
