Inside This Veterans Report on WSU:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 950 GI Bill® students at WSU. As the school’s total enrollment is 15,619, approximately 6.1% of those enrolled 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.
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. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veteran students account for 0.5% of those enrolled at WSU, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
