What will it actually cost?

Sticker price: Data not available
Net price (after aid): $27,025

Most students pay the net price after financial aid, not the sticker price.

Net price by family income

$0 – $30k: $26,142 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)
$30k – $48k: $25,667 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)
$48k – $75k: $27,538 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)
$75k – $110k: $30,732 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)
$110k+: $33,050 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)

For families earning $0 – $30k, $30k – $48k, $48k – $75k, $75k – $110k, $110k+, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $7,550. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.

The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

Refrigeration School Inc does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $60,308, above the $35,918 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Arizona.

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: no students were enrolled entirely at a distance

In Fall 2023, none of Refrigeration School Inc's 1,296 students were enrolled entirely at a distance, though 54 (4%) took at least one distance course. That is a count of how students enrolled, not a list of what is offered online.

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.

Frequently asked questions

About Refrigeration School Inc

Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.

Where is Refrigeration School Inc located?
Refrigeration School Inc is located in Phoenix, AZ, in the United States.
What type of institution is Refrigeration School Inc?
Refrigeration School Inc is a private community college based in AZ. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
Is Refrigeration School Inc open admission?
Yes. Refrigeration School Inc 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.
How many students attend Refrigeration School Inc?
Refrigeration School Inc reports total enrollment of approximately 1,417 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 Refrigeration School Inc actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Refrigeration School Inc is approximately $27,025 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. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $26,142 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $33,050. 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 Refrigeration School Inc?
Refrigeration School Inc reports a graduation rate of approximately 76% (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 student debt do graduates of Refrigeration School Inc have?
Students who borrowed at Refrigeration School Inc left with a median of approximately $8,233 in federal loans, and about 69% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of Refrigeration School Inc earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $52,953 for students who received federal financial aid at Refrigeration School Inc. 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 Refrigeration School Inc?
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 Refrigeration School Inc.
How much do Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians graduates from Refrigeration School Inc earn?
Refrigeration School Inc's certificate graduates in Electromechanical Technologies/Technicians earned a median $56,950 four years after graduating, 13% below the $65,202 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $41,022; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $12,343 in federal loans at this college (about $131 a month on a 10-year plan).
How much do Welding and Machining graduates from Refrigeration School Inc earn?
Refrigeration School Inc's certificate graduates in Welding and Machining earned a median $47,927 four years after graduating, about the same as the $48,702 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $35,808; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $7,917 in federal loans at this college (about $84 a month on a 10-year plan).
Which programs at Refrigeration School Inc have the highest graduate earnings?
Among the 5 programs at Refrigeration School Inc with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Energy Systems Technologies/Technicians, associate's ($70,194); HVAC Technology, certificate ($62,122); and Environmental Control Technologies/Technicians, certificate ($61,653) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
Does Refrigeration School Inc get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Refrigeration School Inc's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $60,308, above the $35,918 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Arizona, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
