by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. This report rounds up what we know about Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus veterans and their studies to help you in your research.

What’s Covered in Our Report on Georgia Tech:
An increased number of veterans enrolling at a particular school means that college faculty are more adept at accommodating and supporting those with previous military experience. VA figures show 588 GI Bill® students at Georgia Tech. Given that enrollment at the school is 18,260, about 3.2% 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.
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.
