Osceola Technical College
Public Community College in Kissimmee, FL. Median 10-year earnings $38,484.
Academics
The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 19% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. The 10:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. As a public community college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. The undergraduate body is just 902, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 611 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $5,482 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $6,494 at $0–30k against $9,048 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 82% get grants averaging $5,950, 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 | $6,494 |
| $30–48k | $3,829 |
| $48–75k | $7,432 |
| $75–110k | $9,048 |
| $110k+ | — |
