Info in This Veterans Report on Wartburg:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 37 GI Bill® students at Wartburg. Because the school enrolls 1,446, roughly 2.6% of the 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.
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. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
