What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Randolph Community College:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. VA figures show 80 GI Bill® students at Randolph Community College. With a total enrollment of 1,446, about 5.5% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
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.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.

|---|---|---|
