Students who entered Fortis College-Orange Park reach a median of $28,506 a decade later, a figure that trails the typical four-year outcome.

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 35% graduate within six years. 79% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in five are gone before sophomore year. The distance between those two figures is the part worth noticing — students return for a second year at a much higher rate than they graduate, so attrition here is spread across the middle years rather than concentrated in the first. At 33:1, instructor access is thin — worth probing on a campus visit. 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.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 331 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $25,232 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Income makes less difference than usual: $22,513 at $0–30k, $30,435 at $110k+. Grant aid reaches 79% of students at an average of $6,819. 73% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
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 | $22,513 |
| $30–48k | $21,562 |
| $48–75k | $24,047 |
