Our Veterans Report on Grossmont 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 753 GI Bill® students at Grossmont College. Given that enrollment at the school is 11,467, about 6.6% 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. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 0.9% of those enrolled at Grossmont College, based on College Scorecard data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
