Our Veterans Report on Eastern Maine Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 89 GI Bill® students at Eastern Maine Community College. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,692, nearly 5.3% of students 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 number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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. Veterans make up 1.0% of all students at Eastern Maine Community College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer-out rate | 41.2% | — |
