Info in This Veterans Report on Treasure Valley Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Per VA data, there are 157 GI Bill® students at Treasure Valley Community College. Given that enrollment at the school is 928, about 16.9% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. Veterans make up 0.8% of all students at Treasure Valley Community College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
