Our Veterans Report on Pomona:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 8 GI Bill® students at Pomona. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,638, about 48.8% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
