Info in This Veterans Report on Roxbury Community College:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. VA figures show 28 GI Bill® students at Roxbury Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,583, nearly 1.8% of students are 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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. About 1.1% of those enrolled at Roxbury Community College, based on College Scorecard data.
