Info in This Veterans Report on South Piedmont Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 54 GI Bill® students at South Piedmont Community College. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,555, approximately 3.5% of the student body is 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
