What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on Guilford Technical Community College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 400 GI Bill® students at Guilford Technical Community College. Given that enrollment at the school is 8,179, nearly 4.9% of the student body is 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.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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. Veterans make up 0.5% of those enrolled at Guilford Technical Community College, based on College Scorecard data.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
