Our Veterans Report on Welch:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 5 GI Bill® students at Welch. With a total enrollment of 261, about 1.9% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to 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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
