Inside This Veterans Report on Bethany College West Virginia:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 6 GI Bill® students at Bethany College West Virginia. Because the school enrolls 642, around 93.5% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
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). It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
