Inside This Veterans Report on Horry-Georgetown Technical College:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 510 GI Bill® students at Horry-Georgetown Technical College. Given that enrollment at the school is 5,962, around 8.6% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. Veterans make up 0.6% of all students at Horry-Georgetown Technical College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
