Our Veterans Report on Hocking Technical 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 110 GI Bill® students at Hocking Technical College. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,648, nearly 6.7% 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — 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. Veterans make up 0.8% of all students at Hocking Technical College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
