Marchman Technical College
Public Community College in New Port Richey, FL. Six-year graduation rate 71%. Median 10-year earnings $30,259.

Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
71% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. First-year retention of 82% shows the cohort holds together through the hardest year. A 13:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. At 588 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 348 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $5,180 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $4,684 at $0–30k, $10,574 at $75–110k. About 60% get grants averaging $3,894, 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 | $4,684 |
| $30–48k | $5,349 |
| $48–75k | $4,950 |
| $75–110k | $10,574 |
| $110k+ | — |
