About Newport, Kentucky

Newport is a home rule-class city in Campbell County, Kentucky, United States. Newport was settled c. 1791 by James Taylor Jr. on land purchased by his father James Sr. from George Muse, who received it as a grant. Taylor's brother, Hubbard Taylor, had been mapping the land twenty years prior. Newport is home to Newport on the Levee, a dining and entertainment complex located on Third Street, which includes Newport Aquarium. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

$2,911

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 81% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $2,911. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 26 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Weigh it value

The payoff is less clear-cut here — weigh the debt against the earnings and your intended field before borrowing heavily.

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.
