What’s Covered in Our Report on Truckee Meadows Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 443 GI Bill® students at Truckee Meadows Community College. As the school’s total enrollment is 6,752, around 6.6% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per 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). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 1.2% of the student body at Truckee Meadows Community College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
