What’s Covered in Our Report on Iowa Lakes Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 46 GI Bill® students at Iowa Lakes Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 995, roughly 4.6% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
