Abstract
Federal GI Bills and funding have allowed military service members to attend institutions of higher learning since 1944. However, military-connected students tend to have lower graduation rates than other similarly situated nontraditional students despite this support. This study used secondary data from an associate-degree granting community college in New England that tracked degree completion rates for military-connected students to examine whether factors such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, or funding source could predict student success. No significant predictors were found. Future research ideas, such as quantitative studies using data from other colleges or universities or adding additional factors, were recommended. A policy paper was an outcome of the study.
