Info in This Veterans Report on Gateway Technical College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 211 GI Bill® students at Gateway Technical College. Since the total enrollment at the school is 4,657, about 4.5% of students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
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. Veteran students account for 1.2% of the student body at Gateway Technical College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
