According to the VA, there are 86 GI Bill® students at Erie Community College. Around 1.03% of students at the school are using the GI Bill® since the total enrollment at Erie Community College is 8,364. For context, let's take this into consideration.

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).
