Our Veterans Report on UTI Phoenix:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. According to the VA, there are 243 GI Bill® students at UTI Phoenix. Because the school enrolls 567, about 42.9% 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 number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the 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. About 3.1% of the student body at UTI Phoenix, according to U.S. Department of Education figures.
