About Piscataway, New Jersey

Piscataway is a township in Middlesex County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. In 1666, European settlers from New England obtained deeds for approximately 40,000 acres of land from Lenape leaders. These transactions were recorded by colonial authorities as land purchases under English law. WVPH is the community radio station of Piscataway High School and Rutgers University. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

American Institute of Medical Sciences & Education funds essentially no grants of its own — almost all aid here comes from federal (Pell), state, or outside sources rather than the school's own discount. Its sticker price is what it is.

Is it worth it?

A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.

Median earnings (10 years): $40,407
Typical debt at graduation: $11,995
Debt vs. one year's pay: 30%
Out-earn a HS grad: —

Typical debt would take roughly 3.0 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

Strong value

Graduates here tend to earn well relative to what they borrow — typical debt pays back fast, and most out-earn a high-school graduate.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.

The pay gap here
