Inside This Veterans Report on Hennepin Technical College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 90 GI Bill® students at Hennepin Technical College. Because the school enrolls 2,827, nearly 3.2% of the student body is 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.
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 does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. Veteran students account for 1.6% of the student body at Hennepin Technical College, per U.S. Department of Education data.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
