Our Veterans Report on South Mountain Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 108 GI Bill® students at South Mountain Community College. Given that enrollment at the school is 2,612, about 4.1% 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. Veterans make up 0.7% of all students at South Mountain Community College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
