Our Veterans Report on Trinidad State Junior 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 44 GI Bill® students at Trinidad State Junior College. With a total enrollment of 1,168, approximately 3.8% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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.
