Admissions
Greater Lowell Technical School accepts 75% of applicants, which makes it accessible to most students who meet the baseline requirements. The applicant pool is small at 24, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. 100% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.

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. 91% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. A 10:1 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 82 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 82 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $19,205 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $75–110k bands is narrow ($19,205 versus $23,555), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 30% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. 28% of students take federal loans, a middling borrowing rate.
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.
