Inside This Veterans Report on Tarrant County College:
Colleges with a large veteran population are better equipped to support and accommodate those who have had military experience. VA figures show 1,931 GI Bill® students at Tarrant County College. As the school’s total enrollment is 40,214, nearly 4.8% of the students 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 count covers every chapter of the GI Bill® — Post-9/11, Montgomery, Reserve Education Assistance, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. Active-duty service members attending via Tuition Assistance are not counted, so the overall military population could be higher. About 0.9% of the student body at Tarrant County College, based on College Scorecard data.
