Info in This Veterans Report on CCS:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 38 GI Bill® students at CCS. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,285, approximately 3.0% of the students are 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.
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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
