Our Veterans Report on Independence Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 12 GI Bill® students at Independence Community College. Because the school enrolls 518, roughly 2.3% of students 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.
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.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
