What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Westmont:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 15 GI Bill® students at Westmont. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,310, around 1.1% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
