Our Veterans Report on Piedmont Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 21 GI Bill® students at Piedmont Community College. As the school’s total enrollment is 707, roughly 3.0% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher.
