About Temecula, California

Temecula is a city in southwestern Riverside County, California, United States. Seven bands of Luiseño Indians inhabited the Temecula valley pre-contact: the Pechanga, La Jolla, Soboba, Pala, Rincon, Pauma, and San Luis Rey bands (presently, all of the bands except the San Luis Rey are federally recognized tribes). The Temecula Valley Wine Country, whose first commercial winegrapes were planted in 1967, features nearly 50 wineries, many tasting rooms, and more than 3,500 acres (14 km2) of producing vineyards. The wine country is located east of the Temecula city limits. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

$2,160

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 6% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $2,160. 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 162 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): $22,452
Typical debt at graduation: $12,858
Debt vs. one year's pay: 57%
Out-earn a HS grad: —

Typical debt would take roughly 5.7 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.
