About Neosho, Missouri
Neosho is the most populous city in and the county seat of Newton County, Missouri, United States. Starting in the late 1820s, European-American settlers of English, Scottish, German, Welsh, and Scots-Irish ancestry began moving into the area. The first of these settlers was Lunsford Oliver, who migrated from Tennessee in 1829 and located near Shoal Creek. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?
Neosho Beauty and Barber 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)
- $18,280
- Typical debt at graduation
- $9,500
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 52%
- Out-earn a HS grad
- 26%
Typical debt would take roughly 5.2 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.
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.
