Schoolcraft Community
College District
Public Community College in Livonia, MI. Six-year graduation rate 18%. Median 10-year earnings $42,722.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $42,722 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. The six-year graduation rate is 18% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome. Borrowing stays contained, with median debt at graduation of $10,500.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.25 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark

Academics
Completion is the problem here: 18% graduate within six years. A 28% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. A 27:1 ratio means students need to be deliberate about getting faculty time. As a public four-year university, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. With 7,596 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 6,626 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $5,782 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($1,083 versus $7,611), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid reaches 60% of students at an average of $3,799. Only 9% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
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 | $1,083 |
| $30–48k | $991 |
| $48–75k | $3,900 |
| $75–110k | $5,100 |
| $110k+ | $7,611 |
