Admissions
Laurel Technical Institute accepts 77% of applicants, which makes it accessible to most students who meet the baseline requirements. The applicant pool is small at 337, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. A 61% yield rate puts this school in the upper range for admits who follow through.

69% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 76% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The 9:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. At 397 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 390 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $6,925 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Income makes less difference than usual: $7,273 at $0–30k, $15,033 at $110k+. 61% of students receive grant aid, averaging $8,214 — common but not automatic. Borrowing is widespread: 73% take federal loans.
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 | $7,273 |
| $30–48k | $5,672 |
| $48–75k | $7,275 |
| $75–110k | $7,293 |
| $110k+ | $15,033 |
