Info in This Veterans Report on Ozarka College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 36 GI Bill® students at Ozarka College. With a total enrollment of 564, approximately 6.4% of the student body is 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.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 16.7% | 45.3% |
| Transfer-out rate | 66.7% | — |
