Info in This Veterans Report on Northern New Mexico College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 19 GI Bill® students at Northern New Mexico College. As the school’s total enrollment is 859, roughly 2.2% of the 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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.
