Inside This Veterans Report on NLTCC:
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 43 GI Bill® students at NLTCC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 837, nearly 5.1% of the student body is 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.
All GI Bill® chapters are included here: Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veteran students account for 1.5% of all students at NLTCC, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
Outcome rates for veterans help show whether a school’s support translates into degrees.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 57.1% | 70.9% |
