FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

Blackfeet Community College does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $40,403, above the $32,616 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Montana.

It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.

This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics

Studying online: a small share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 1 of Blackfeet Community College's 282 students (0%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 36 (13%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

About Blackfeet Community College

Where is Blackfeet Community College located?
Blackfeet Community College is located in Browning, MT, in the United States.
What type of institution is Blackfeet Community College?
Blackfeet Community College is a private university based in MT. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
Is Blackfeet Community College open admission?
Yes. Blackfeet Community College reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.
What is the tuition at Blackfeet Community College?
Blackfeet Community College's published in-state tuition is approximately $3,610 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
How many students attend Blackfeet Community College?
Blackfeet Community College reports total enrollment of approximately 318 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does Blackfeet Community College actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Blackfeet Community College is approximately $5,410 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at Blackfeet Community College?
Blackfeet Community College reports a graduation rate of approximately 62% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much do graduates of Blackfeet Community College earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $22,953 for students who received federal financial aid at Blackfeet Community College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about Blackfeet Community College?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Blackfeet Community College.
Does Blackfeet Community College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Blackfeet Community College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $40,403, above the $32,616 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Montana, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program. It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.
