What’s Covered in Our Report on Lanier Technical College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 154 GI Bill® students at Lanier Technical College. With a total enrollment of 4,147, roughly 3.7% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

All GI Bill® chapters are included here: 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.
