About Rego Park, New York

Rego Park is a neighborhood in the borough of Queens in New York City. Rego Park is built on lands originally part of the Lenape Nation, possibly inhabited by members of the Canarsee band. By 1653, though, English and Dutch farmers moved into the area and founded a community called Whitepot, which was a part of the Township of Newtown. The 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street was filmed in part in Rego Park, at the now-demolished Shalimar Diner. (Wikipedia)

College Scorecard / IPEDS, most recent year. Family income is total household income; net price covers tuition, fees, room, board and supplies after grant aid, for students receiving federal aid.

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

$3,245

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 3% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $3,245. 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 201 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.
