by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. That’s why we’ve put together this report that gives you the facts about Rocky Mountain College veteran students to help you make your college decision.

Info in This Veterans Report on Rocky:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. The VA reports that there are 67 GI Bill® students at Rocky. Given that enrollment at the school is 790, roughly 8.5% 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.
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.
