Inside This Veterans Report on FTCC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 2,967 GI Bill® students at FTCC. Given that enrollment at the school is 8,814, roughly 33.7% of students are 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veteran students account for 2.3% of the student body at FTCC, per U.S. Department of Education data.
