What’s Covered in Our Report on Chattahoochee Technical College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 549 GI Bill® students at Chattahoochee Technical College. Because the school enrolls 7,555, approximately 7.3% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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). Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 0.7% of those enrolled at Chattahoochee Technical College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
