What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on East Central Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 70 GI Bill® students at East Central Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,584, nearly 4.4% of those enrolled 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
