Our Veterans Report on Mendocino 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 36 GI Bill® students at Mendocino College. Because the school enrolls 2,857, around 1.3% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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.
