Info in This Veterans Report on Wingate:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 123 GI Bill® students at Wingate. As the school’s total enrollment is 2,462, about 5.0% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students 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. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
