Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. According to the VA, there are 50 GI Bill® students at Stanly Technical College. As the school’s total enrollment is 1,430, roughly 3.5% of the students are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education.

The total spans all GI Bill® chapters, including 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.
