What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Cape Cod Community College:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. VA figures show 113 GI Bill® students at Cape Cod Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,223, nearly 5.1% of those enrolled 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 0.8% of all students at Cape Cod Community College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
