Info in This Veterans Report on Paris Junior College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. According to the VA, there are 129 GI Bill® students at Paris Junior College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,265, approximately 5.7% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to 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. Veteran students account for 0.8% of the student body at Paris Junior College, based on College Scorecard data.
