Sheridan Technical College
Public Community College in Hollywood, FL. Six-year graduation rate 69%. Median 10-year earnings $33,166.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $33,166, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate of 70% is well above average and the clearest sign this school holds onto its students.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
Six-year completion runs to 70% — students who start here overwhelmingly finish here. 73% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The 15:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. This is a public community college, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. 2,537 undergraduates makes this a mid-sized institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 2,456 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $7,743 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($6,305 versus $7,128), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Only 49% of students receive grant aid, so most families are paying near the published 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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $6,305 |
| $30–48k | $7,170 |
| $48–75k | $7,516 |
| $75–110k | $9,214 |
