What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on CVCC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 270 GI Bill® students at CVCC. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,044, approximately 25.9% of those enrolled 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.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veterans make up 1.0% of the student body at CVCC, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 11.4% | 30.2% |
| Transfer-out rate | 40.0% | — |
Rates are reported via the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
