Info in This Veterans Report on Hill 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 114 GI Bill® students at Hill College. Given that enrollment at the school is 2,269, nearly 5.0% of the student body is 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. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. About 0.7% of those enrolled at Hill College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 18.8% | 28.3% |
| Transfer-out rate | 31.3% | — |
