Our Veterans Report on Allegheny:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 27 GI Bill® students at Allegheny. With a total enrollment of 1,209, approximately 2.2% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
