Admissions
Instituto Tecnologico de Puerto Rico-Recinto de Manati admits 93% of applicants — effectively open admission, so the application is a formality rather than a hurdle.

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 34% graduate within six years. 81% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. A 6:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a public community college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 297 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $2,897 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Income makes less difference than usual: $2,535 at $0–30k, $5,601 at $75–110k. 94% of students get grant aid averaging $3,442, so the published price is a poor guide to what most pay.
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 | $2,535 |
| $30–48k | $1,073 |
| $48–75k | $5,349 |
