Inside This Veterans Report on JSCC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 48 GI Bill® students at JSCC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 761, around 6.3% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students 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). It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.

|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 66.7% | 36.7% |
