Based on VA records, there are 154 GI Bill® students at Chabot College. Given that enrollment at the school is 10,861, approximately 1.4% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment.
