What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Southeastern Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 57 GI Bill® students at Southeastern Community College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,529, about 3.7% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 20.0% | 41.0% |
| Transfer-out rate | 20.0% | — |
