What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Century College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 194 GI Bill® students at Century College. With a total enrollment of 5,971, around 3.2% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per 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. Veteran students account for 0.8% of those enrolled at Century College, based on College Scorecard data.
