About Dayton, Ohio

Dayton is a city in Montgomery County, Ohio, United States, and its county seat. Dayton was founded on April 1, 1796, by 12 settlers known as the Thompson Party. Among the Thompson Party was Benjamin Van Cleve, whose memoirs provide insights into the Ohio Valley's history. Two other groups traveling overland arrived several days later. The Dayton Region ranked within the top 10% in the nation in arts and culture. (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.

of first-years get a grant from the school

$904

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 9% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $904. 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 110 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Is it worth it?

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

Median earnings (10 years): $22,271
Typical debt at graduation: $9,731
Debt vs. one year's pay: 44%
Out-earn a HS grad: 20%

Typical debt would take roughly 4.4 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

Solid value

A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.

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.
