Every year, some 700,000 Post-9/11 GI Bill students enroll in an institution of postsecondary education. Most veterans and taxpayers assume colleges are spending the GI Bill to give veterans an education. But are colleges honoring the Congressional intent and taxpayer investment?

This report from Veterans Education Success examines U.S. Education Department data on college spending and other metrics to identify “Best Instructional Bang for the GI Bill Buck” colleges that dedicate the most to veterans’ education and produce positive student outcomes. The study also includes “Bottom of the Barrel” schools that divert most tuition away from students and, not surprisingly, have worse student outcomes.
