What’s Covered in Our Report on Moorpark College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 263 GI Bill® students at Moorpark College. Given that enrollment at the school is 12,011, about 2.2% of students 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. Veterans make up 0.8% of the student body at Moorpark College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
