Inside This Veterans Report on Brunswick Community College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. According to the VA, there are 52 GI Bill® students at Brunswick Community College. With a total enrollment of 1,124, roughly 4.6% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veterans make up 1.6% of all students at Brunswick 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.
