Inside This Veterans Report on CVTC:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. The VA reports that there are 203 GI Bill® students at CVTC. With a total enrollment of 4,127, around 4.9% of students are 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 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. Veteran students account for 1.0% of all students at CVTC, based on College Scorecard data.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
