Info in This Veterans Report on CCU:
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 784 GI Bill® students at CCU. With a total enrollment of 5,363, around 14.6% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veterans make up 0.6% of the student body at CCU, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
