What’s Covered in Our Report on SIC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 30 GI Bill® students at SIC. Given that enrollment at the school is 659, around 4.6% 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.
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. About 6.2% of those enrolled at SIC, based on College Scorecard data.
