of Maintenance-Houston
For-profit College in Houston, TX. Six-year graduation rate 73%. Median 10-year earnings $58,327.

Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
73% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 85% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a for-profit two-year institution, outcomes here deserve a harder look than the sector average suggests: for-profit institutions vary enormously, and the sector's aggregate numbers hide both strong and very weak performers. The undergraduate body is just 281, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 281 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $22,965 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $22,516 at $0–30k against $27,724 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is limited — 33% of students receive any. 21% borrow federally — a low rate, though it covers federal loans only.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

| $0–30k | $22,516 |
| $30–48k | $25,997 |
