What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on West Hills College-Lemoore:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 101 GI Bill® students at West Hills College-Lemoore. Given that enrollment at the school is 3,223, around 3.1% of the student body is 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.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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. Veteran students account for 0.6% of the student body at West Hills College-Lemoore, per U.S. Department of Education data.
