What’s Covered in Our Report on Northern Maine Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 30 GI Bill® students at Northern Maine Community College. Because the school enrolls 577, nearly 5.2% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veteran students account for 2.2% of those enrolled at Northern Maine Community College, based on College Scorecard data.
