Inside This Veterans Report on Lassen Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 31 GI Bill® students at Lassen Community College. Because the school enrolls 1,564, approximately 2.0% of the students 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. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
