What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Los Angeles Mission College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. Based on VA records, there are 116 GI Bill® students at Los Angeles Mission College. Because the school enrolls 8,031, nearly 1.4% 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.
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). It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. About 0.8% of those enrolled at Los Angeles Mission College, based on College Scorecard data.
