Info in This Veterans Report on SKC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 18 GI Bill® students at SKC. As the school’s total enrollment is 568, about 3.2% of the student body is 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.
