Our Veterans Report on Renton Technical College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. Based on VA records, there are 89 GI Bill® students at Renton Technical College. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,539, roughly 5.8% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. To put that into context, the Student Veterans of America estimates that roughly three to four percent of all U.S. college students are veterans.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It does not include any active-duty military personnel attending via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger. Veterans make up 0.9% of all students at Renton Technical College, based on College Scorecard data.
