Inside This Veterans Report on CCNY:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. VA figures show 105 GI Bill® students at CCNY. Since the total enrollment at the school is 11,934, roughly 88.0% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veteran students account for 0.3% of the student body at CCNY, based on College Scorecard data.
