What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Victoria 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 117 GI Bill® students at Victoria College. As the school’s total enrollment is 2,385, about 4.9% of the students are 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
