Info in This Veterans Report on NWHSU:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 32 GI Bill® students at NWHSU. As the school’s total enrollment is 251, about 12.7% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
