Info in This Veterans Report on Panola College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 53 GI Bill® students at Panola College. With a total enrollment of 1,378, nearly 3.8% 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.
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.
