What’s Covered in Our Report on Tennessee Tech University:
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of those with prior military experience. VA figures show 476 GI Bill® students at Tennessee Tech University. Because the school enrolls 8,495, nearly 5.6% of 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.
Note, this figure includes all chapters of the GI Bill® program (e.g., Post-9/11, Montgomery GI Bill®, Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment). Active-duty military using Tuition Assistance are excluded, so the actual military population may be bigger. Veteran students account for 0.5% of those enrolled at Tennessee Tech University, per U.S. Department of Education data.
