What’s Covered in Our Report on Mitchell Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 116 GI Bill® students at Mitchell Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,692, around 6.9% of those enrolled 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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
