What’s Covered in Our Report on Cleveland State Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 114 GI Bill® students at Cleveland State Community College. Because the school enrolls 1,967, nearly 5.8% of the students 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.
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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
