What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on John Tyler 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. VA figures show 454 GI Bill® students at John Tyler Community College. Given that enrollment at the school is 5,548, nearly 8.2% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per 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). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 0.5% of all students at John Tyler Community College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
