by our College Data Analytics TeamBefore you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. This report rounds up what we know about Yale University veterans and their studies to help you in your research.

What’s Covered in Our Report on Yale:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. The VA reports that there are 98 GI Bill® students at Yale. Because the school enrolls 6,811, about 1.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
