What’s Covered in Our Report on SCC:
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 142 GI Bill® students at SCC. As the school’s total enrollment is 5,008, approximately 2.8% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
