About Gurabo, Puerto Rico

Gurabo is a town and municipality in eastern Puerto Rico. Gurabo's history dates as far back as the 17th century, when it was actually part of Caguas. Then, the area was known as Burabo. This led many of Burabo's citizens to seek autonomy for the area. Gurabo celebrates its patron saint festival in March. The Fiestas Patronales de San Jose is a religious and cultural celebration that generally features parades, games, artisans, amusement rides, regional food, and live entertainment. (Wikipedia)

Net price for your family's income, projected across the time it actually takes students here to graduate.

Est. total to a degree
$39,564

$7,669/year × about 5.2 years — most students here don't finish in exactly four, and each extra term adds cost. A planning estimate from net-price and graduation-timing data, not a bill.

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.

7%

$2,128
average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 7% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $2,128. 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 1,392 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Is it worth it?

Typical debt would take roughly 5.1 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.

The pay gap here

Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.

Men out-earn women by $9,299 (42%) a decade out.
