About Mayaguez, Puerto Rico

Mayagüez is the ninth-largest municipality in Puerto Rico. The Mayagüez Metro Area (and part of Añasco) lies today on two former Taíno Cacicazgos (chiefdoms): Yaguex and Yagüeca, a region noted for its record of colonial resistance (i.e., Urayoán and Legend of Diego Salcedo). Mayagüez's contributions to Puerto Rican gastronomy have been many, and a few of these are known outside Puerto Rico. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Institucion Chaviano de Mayaguez 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.

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.

The pay gap here
