Inside This Veterans Report on Hutchinson Community College:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. Based on VA records, there are 132 GI Bill® students at Hutchinson Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,911, around 4.5% of students 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 number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veteran students account for 1.1% of all students at Hutchinson Community College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
