What’s Covered in Our Report on Nashua Community College:
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 50 GI Bill® students at Nashua Community College. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,039, around 4.8% of the 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
