by our College Data Analytics TeamBefore you enroll, it pays to find out how well a school supports students who have served in the military. We’ve assembled this report on Mitchell Technical College veterans so you can make an informed choice.

Info in This Veterans Report on Mitchell Tech:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 74 GI Bill® students at Mitchell Tech. Because the school enrolls 953, roughly 7.8% of students 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It excludes active-duty military personnel attending through Tuition Assistance, so the true military population may be larger.
Graduation and retention rates can tell you how well a school supports its veteran students through to a degree.
