Inside This Veterans Report on Whitworth:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 111 GI Bill® students at Whitworth. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,927, nearly 5.8% 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.
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.
