Inside This Veterans Report on CGTC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 595 GI Bill® students at CGTC. Because the school enrolls 5,602, nearly 10.6% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger. Veterans make up 0.5% of those enrolled at CGTC, based on College Scorecard data.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
