Inside This Veterans Report on The Chicago School Chicago Campus:
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 21 GI Bill® students at The Chicago School Chicago Campus. Since the total enrollment at the school is 31, approximately 67.7% 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.
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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
