A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 351 GI Bill® students at Montgomery College. Because the school enrolls 13,519, around 2.6% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
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.
