Our Veterans Report on SRJC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 289 GI Bill® students at SRJC. With a total enrollment of 14,327, approximately 2.0% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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. About 0.4% of the student body at SRJC, based on College Scorecard data.
