by our College Data Analytics TeamChoosing a college as a veteran means weighing how well each school supports those with a military background. We’ve assembled this report on Tri-County Technical College veteran students to help you make your college decision.

Inside This Veterans Report on TCTC:
When many veterans attend a school, its faculty and staff tend to be more experienced at meeting the needs of former service members. Based on VA records, there are 311 GI Bill® students at TCTC. As the school’s total enrollment is 4,960, around 6.3% of those enrolled are using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. As a benchmark, the Student Veterans of America puts the share of veteran college students nationwide at three to four percent.
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.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer-out rate | 32.0% | — |
Rates are reported via the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
