by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. We’ve assembled this report on California Institute of Technology veterans and their studies to help you in your research.

Our Veterans Report on Caltech:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. Based on VA records, there are 9 GI Bill® students at Caltech. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,023, around 88.0% of those enrolled 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.
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.
