Our Veterans Report on Pitt Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 338 GI Bill® students at Pitt Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 5,175, nearly 6.5% 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.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 0.6% of those enrolled at Pitt Community College, based on College Scorecard data.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
