Our Veterans Report on Weatherford College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 352 GI Bill® students at Weatherford College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 3,961, nearly 8.9% of the students are 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, 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. Veteran students account for 0.7% of those enrolled at Weatherford College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
