When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Per VA data, there are 196 GI Bill® students at Ogeechee Technical College. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,781, about 11.0% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

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.
