Our Veterans Report on Great Lakes Institute of Technology:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Based on VA records, there are 16 GI Bill® students at Great Lakes Institute of Technology. Given that enrollment at the school is 303, nearly 5.3% of the 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.
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.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
