by our College Data Analytics TeamBefore you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. We’ve assembled this report on Chestnut Hill College veteran students to support your research.

Info in This Veterans Report on CHC:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. Based on VA records, there are 41 GI Bill® students at CHC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 931, around 4.4% 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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.
