Info in This Veterans Report on Labette Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 23 GI Bill® students at Labette Community College. Because the school enrolls 766, approximately 3.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
