American Association of Community Colleges
Community colleges enroll a diverse population of military-affiliated students, including those still on active duty, reservists and veterans. According to 2015-16 federal data, student veterans accounted for about 4.8 percent of community college students, active-duty military students another 1.5 percent and reservists comprised 0.1 percent, compared to 2008-09 data when the figures were 3.5 percent, 0.7 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively. In 2015-16, public four-year institution enrollment included 2.8 percent comprised by student veterans, 1.1 percent by active-duty military members and 0.2 percent by reservists. Community colleges provide resources and academic and non-academic programs designed to support military-affiliated students.
