What’s Covered in Our Report on Navarro College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 256 GI Bill® students at Navarro College. Because the school enrolls 3,959, around 6.5% of those enrolled are 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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veteran students account for 0.4% of the student body at Navarro College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
