Info in This Veterans Report on Haywood Community 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 49 GI Bill® students at Haywood Community College. With a total enrollment of 793, around 6.2% of those enrolled 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
