Info in This Veterans Report on Walsh:
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 48 GI Bill® students at Walsh. Because the school enrolls 535, around 9.0% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
