Inside This Veterans Report on NTCC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 91 GI Bill® students at NTCC. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,964, approximately 4.6% of the 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. About 0.9% of those enrolled at NTCC, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
