What’s Covered in Our Report on FRCC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 610 GI Bill® students at FRCC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 11,132, about 5.5% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veteran students account for 1.3% of the student body at FRCC, per U.S. Department of Education data.
