What’s Covered in Our Report on Colby Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 25 GI Bill® students at Colby Community College. As the school’s total enrollment is 837, roughly 3.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
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. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
