William T
McFatter Technical College
Public Community College in Davie, FL. Six-year graduation rate 66%. Median 10-year earnings $41,656.
Ten-year median earnings of $41,656 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. 66% graduate within six years, so most students who start here finish here.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
Academics
66% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 73% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. A 15:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty. As a public community college, the relevant comparison is other two-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. This is a small school — 1,436 undergraduates — so cohorts are tight and the program list is necessarily short.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 1,197 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $11,355 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Income makes less difference than usual: $11,888 at $0–30k, $11,924 at $48–75k. Grant aid reaches 54% of students at an average of $3,997.
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 | $11,888 |
| $30–48k | $12,031 |
