What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Evergreen Valley College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 111 GI Bill® students at Evergreen Valley College. Given that enrollment at the school is 7,670, roughly 1.4% 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 excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. About 0.4% of the student body at Evergreen Valley College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
