According to the VA, there are 31 GI Bill® students at USW. The school has a total enrollment of 904 students. This means that around 3.43% of students are using the GI Bill® to help them afford their education.

This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, e.g. Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill® and Reserve Education Assistance Program. It also includes Veteran Readiness and Employment.
