What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on CSC:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. According to the VA, there are 78 GI Bill® students at CSC. Because the school enrolls 1,672, roughly 4.7% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veterans make up 2.3% of those enrolled at CSC, based on College Scorecard data.
