Inside This Veterans Report on Contra Costa Medical Career College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 12 GI Bill® students at Contra Costa Medical Career College. Because the school enrolls 337, about 3.6% 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.
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 excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
