What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Hawaii Medical 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 41 GI Bill® students at Hawaii Medical College. Given that enrollment at the school is 217, around 18.9% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
