Inside This Veterans Report on Phillips County Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 12 GI Bill® students at Phillips County Community College. Because the school enrolls 595, roughly 2.0% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.
