What’s Covered in Our Report on Chemeketa Community College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. Based on VA records, there are 242 GI Bill® students at Chemeketa Community College. As the school’s total enrollment is 6,457, approximately 3.7% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to 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 0.7% of those enrolled at Chemeketa Community College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
