A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 53 GI Bill® students at Northland Community and Technical College. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,382, roughly 3.8% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. By comparison, the Student Veterans of America reports that three to four percent of college students nationwide are veterans.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater.
