Our Veterans Report on Shawnee Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 28 GI Bill® students at Shawnee Community College. Because the school enrolls 675, nearly 4.1% 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. Veteran students account for 1.6% of those enrolled at Shawnee Community College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
