Inside This Veterans Report on American Trade School:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Per VA data, there are 26 GI Bill® students at American Trade School. As the school’s total enrollment is 140, roughly 18.6% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 8.7% of all students at American Trade School, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Unfortunately, American Trade School does not offer credit for military training. Earning credit for what you already know can save you time and money toward a degree. Check with American Trade School about credit for life experience, CLEP and similar exams, or other prior learning beyond military training.
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs are not available at American Trade School.
The VA has no complaints on record for this college.
