What’s Covered in Our Report on WVC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 56 GI Bill® students at WVC. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,762, nearly 3.2% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students 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 service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veteran students account for 0.9% of those enrolled at WVC, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
