What You’ll Find in Our Veterans Report on South Georgia Technical College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. The VA reports that there are 60 GI Bill® students at South Georgia Technical College. Given that enrollment at the school is 1,302, around 4.6% 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.
This count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, 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.
