Info in This Veterans Report on Wheaton College Massachusetts:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 18 GI Bill® students at Wheaton College Massachusetts. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,744, nearly 1.0% of those enrolled 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
