Germanna sees nearly 40% Increase in Students using VA Benefits this Fall

The number of students attending Germanna Community College and receiving VA benefits has grown by 39.2% from Fall 2008 to Fall 2009.

Comparing calendar year 2009 with calendar year 2008, there are 20% more receiving these benefits.

The enhanced GI Bill benefits, the return of veterans to their homes from active duty, and the economy may all be factors in explaining this increase.

Germanna's overall enrollment has climbed to nearly 7000 students this fall, which is a 7% increase from last fall. Full-time equated enrollment has grown by over 12%, suggesting s students are also taking more classes while enrolled.

We are proud and humbled to serve our veterans and gratified that they see us as a place for their lifelong learning to continue.
