Our Veterans Report on Northwestern:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 46 GI Bill® students at Northwestern. Because the school enrolls 1,495, about 3.1% of students 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 number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, 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.
