What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Wake Forest University:
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 86 GI Bill® students at Wake Forest University. Given that enrollment at the school is 5,471, approximately 1.6% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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.
