Info in This Veterans Report on Wyotech-Laramie:
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 152 GI Bill® students at Wyotech-Laramie. With a total enrollment of 1,204, nearly 12.6% 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). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 2.4% of the student body at Wyotech-Laramie, per U.S. Department of Education data.
