Our Veterans Report on Anoka Technical College:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. VA figures show 80 GI Bill® students at Anoka Technical College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 1,522, nearly 5.3% of those enrolled are 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 leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.

|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 33.3% | 50.5% |
