Our Veterans Report on Colgate:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 22 GI Bill® students at Colgate. With a total enrollment of 3,122, approximately 70.5% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.

Colgate does not currently award college credit for military training. Credit for prior learning can shorten your time to a degree, so it’s worth asking about. Beyond military training, ask Colgate whether it awards credit for life or work experience, CLEP exams, or other prior learning.
Colgate does not offer Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs.
This school has a clean record with no VA complaints.
