Our Veterans Report on Rogue Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 237 GI Bill® students at Rogue Community College. Because the school enrolls 3,395, about 7.0% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veteran students account for 1.6% of the student body at Rogue Community College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
