What’s Covered in Our Report on Defiance College:
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 22 GI Bill® students at Defiance College. With a total enrollment of 454, about 4.8% of those enrolled 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. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
