by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. So we’ve gathered facts about Wabash College veterans so you can make an informed choice.

What’s Covered in Our Report on Wabash:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. Based on VA records, there are 6 GI Bill® students at Wabash. As the school’s total enrollment is 845, approximately 71.0% of the student body is 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
