Our Veterans Report on OWU:
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 28 GI Bill® students at OWU. Because the school enrolls 1,450, around 1.9% 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
