Info in This Veterans Report on WITC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 29 GI Bill® students at WITC. Given that enrollment at the school is 2,026, approximately 1.4% of 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veteran students account for 1.1% of all students at WITC, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
