Inside This Veterans Report on Atlantic Cape Community College:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. Based on VA records, there are 102 GI Bill® students at Atlantic Cape Community College. Given that enrollment at the school is 3,860, approximately 2.6% 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). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veteran students account for 0.9% of those enrolled at Atlantic Cape Community College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
