What’s Covered in Our Report on Holmes Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 115 GI Bill® students at Holmes Community College. As the school’s total enrollment is 3,847, approximately 3.0% 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.
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.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 21.4% | 44.4% |
| Transfer-out rate | 35.7% | — |
These figures come from the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
