Info in This Veterans Report on Kishwaukee 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 41 GI Bill® students at Kishwaukee College. With a total enrollment of 1,794, approximately 2.3% of 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. Veterans make up 1.9% of the student body at Kishwaukee College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
