What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Wilberforce University:
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 15 GI Bill® students at Wilberforce University. Since the total enrollment at the school is 602, roughly 2.5% 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.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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.
