Info in This Veterans Report on Lake Land 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 88 GI Bill® students at Lake Land College. As the school’s total enrollment is 2,492, around 3.5% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
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. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. About 0.6% of all students at Lake Land College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
