What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Cochise 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 402 GI Bill® students at Cochise College. Because the school enrolls 3,007, roughly 13.4% of the student body is 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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. About 0.8% of those enrolled at Cochise College, based on College Scorecard data.
