What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Citrus College:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Based on VA records, there are 184 GI Bill® students at Citrus College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 8,126, around 2.3% of those enrolled 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, 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 1.3% of the student body at Citrus College, based on College Scorecard data.
