Our Veterans Report on WVJC Morgantown:
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 WVJC Morgantown. With a total enrollment of 584, about 6.3% of the student body is 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.
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). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
