Lebanon County
Area Vocational Technical School
Public College in Lebanon, PA.
Academics
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. Just 50% of first-years come back — most of the completion gap opens in year one. Part-time students actually return at a higher rate, 60%, which is unusual and suggests the school is built for them. A 1:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. This is a public short-program institution, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24
Net price lands at $23,400 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Income makes less difference than usual: $21,754 at $0–30k, $25,681 at $110k+. 33% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Most students borrow — 69% take federal loans to cover the gap.
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 | $21,754 |
| $30–48k | $15,339 |
| $48–75k | — |
