Our Veterans Report on LWTech:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 129 GI Bill® students at LWTech. With a total enrollment of 2,179, around 5.9% of students 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. About 1.8% of the student body at LWTech, per U.S. Department of Education data.
