Info in This Veterans Report on Mt. SAC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 612 GI Bill® students at Mt. SAC. Because the school enrolls 25,311, nearly 2.4% 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.
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. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veterans make up 0.8% of those enrolled at Mt. SAC, based on College Scorecard data.
