by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about Central New Mexico Community College veteran services to guide your decision.

Info in This Veterans Report on CNM:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 709 GI Bill® students at CNM. Because the school enrolls 15,246, about 4.7% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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 0.4% of the student body at CNM, based on College Scorecard data.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
