What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on High Desert Medical 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 147 GI Bill® students at High Desert Medical College. Because the school enrolls 1,721, about 8.5% of the 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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.
