Our Veterans Report on Pratt Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 27 GI Bill® students at Pratt Community College. Because the school enrolls 600, about 4.5% 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.
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 excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
