Based on VA records, there are 145 GI Bill® students at Edmonds Community College. As the school’s total enrollment is 3,354, nearly 4.3% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

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).
