What’s Covered in Our Report on Taft College:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Based on VA records, there are 28 GI Bill® students at Taft College. As the school’s total enrollment is 3,216, approximately 87.1% of students are 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. Veteran students account for 0.8% of those enrolled at Taft College, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
