About Arlington, Texas

Arlington is a city in Tarrant County, Texas, United States. European settlement in the Arlington area dates back at least to the 1840s. The rich soil of the area attracted farmers, and several agriculture-related businesses were well established by the late nineteenth century. Arlington is home to Six Flags Over Texas, a nationwide theme park that includes many notable attractions. Six Flags also opened Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, a waterpark, after the previous location, Wet 'n Wild, was sold to them in the mid-1990s. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Maestro College 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): $33,559
Typical debt at graduation: $9,500
Debt vs. one year's pay: 28%
Out-earn a HS grad: —

Typical debt would take roughly 2.8 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.
