Inside This Veterans Report on Three Rivers College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 109 GI Bill® students at Three Rivers College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,909, approximately 5.7% of 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veterans make up 0.6% of the student body at Three Rivers College, based on College Scorecard data.
