Yeshiva Shaar Ephraim
Private College in Monsey, NY. Six-year graduation rate 6%.
- ! Graduation rate 6% — below national average
Academics
Only 6% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential. Retention is weak: only 55% of full-time first-years return, so roughly two in five leave after one year. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. The 47% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. A 7:1 ratio points to small classes and accessible faculty.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 139 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $11,366 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($9,607 versus $12,360), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Most students get help: 100% receive grants worth $11,487 on average.
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 | $9,607 |
| $30–48k | $10,902 |
| $48–75k | $11,998 |
