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.

27%

of first-years get a grant from the school

$1,315

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 27% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $1,315. 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 44 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): $23,131
Typical debt at graduation: $9,833
Debt vs. one year's pay: 43%
Out-earn a HS grad: 39%

Typical debt would take roughly 4.3 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.
