Inside This Veterans Report on PPCC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 2,564 GI Bill® students at PPCC. With a total enrollment of 9,307, around 27.5% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. About 2.4% of those enrolled at PPCC, based on College Scorecard data.
