What’s Covered in Our Report on Coastal Carolina Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 1,321 GI Bill® students at Coastal Carolina Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,682, nearly 49.3% of the student body is 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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. Veterans make up 15.6% of those enrolled at Coastal Carolina Community College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
