What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on PGCC:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 15 GI Bill® students at PGCC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 110, about 13.6% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
