Our Veteran-Friendly School List was developed through a rigorous, data-driven methodology that integrates proprietary surveys from over 1,000 veterans and military students with public data from the Department of Education's IPEDS, VA's GI Bill Comparison Tool, and other federal sources. Institutions were assessed against benchmarks such as graduation rates, job placement, and our proprietary RoEDU™ (Return on Education) score. We revisit this list on an annual basis.
