Inside This Veterans Report on Barstow 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. VA figures show 99 GI Bill® students at Barstow Community College. With a total enrollment of 2,585, roughly 3.8% of the student body is 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veterans make up 1.2% of all students at Barstow Community College, based on College Scorecard data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
