Info in This Veterans Report on PFW:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 255 GI Bill® students at PFW. Because the school enrolls 5,450, nearly 4.7% of students 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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. Veteran students account for 0.4% of the student body at PFW, per U.S. Department of Education data.
