Info in This Veterans Report on Great Basin 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 56 GI Bill® students at Great Basin College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,855, approximately 3.0% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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. Veteran students account for 1.8% of all students at Great Basin College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
