Inside This Veterans Report on JWU Charlotte:
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 148 GI Bill® students at JWU Charlotte. Because the school enrolls 1,126, approximately 13.1% of the student body is 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. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. About 0.2% of the student body at JWU Charlotte, per U.S. Department of Education data.
