Our Veterans Report on NCTC:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 323 GI Bill® students at NCTC. Because the school enrolls 5,703, roughly 5.7% of students are 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.
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. Veteran students account for 1.5% of the student body at NCTC, based on College Scorecard data.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 9.8% | 26.1% |
| Transfer-out rate | 39.0% | — |
