What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Santa Fe College:
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 643 GI Bill® students at Santa Fe College. Given that enrollment at the school is 11,133, roughly 5.8% of the 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, 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. Veterans make up 0.7% of the student body at Santa Fe College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
