Our Veterans Report on Savannah Tech:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. VA figures show 898 GI Bill® students at Savannah Tech. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,967, about 30.3% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For context, around three to four percent of American college students are veterans, per the Student Veterans of America.
The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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. About 1.1% of those enrolled at Savannah Tech, based on College Scorecard data.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
