Our Veterans Report on UW - La Crosse:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 247 GI Bill® students at UW - La Crosse. Given that enrollment at the school is 9,194, around 2.7% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
