Our Veterans Report on Wayne Community College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 215 GI Bill® students at Wayne Community College. With a total enrollment of 1,998, around 10.8% of students 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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 0.7% of all students at Wayne 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.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 36.0% | 51.4% |
| Transfer-out rate | 36.0% | — |
These figures come from the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
