First Coast
Technical College
Public College in Saint Augustine, FL. Median 10-year earnings $33,784.
Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. First-year retention of 84% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 773 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 765 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $10,165 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,448 at $0–30k against $11,684 at $48–75k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 58% get grants averaging $5,091, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price.
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.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $9,448 |
| $30–48k | $8,181 |
| $48–75k | $11,684 |
