Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)
For families earning $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 $1,466. 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 flaggedSouth Hills School of Business & Technology does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $45,158, above the $35,008 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Pennsylvania.
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 South Hills School of Business & Technology's 242 students were enrolled entirely at a distance, though 16 (7%) 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.

- What is the acceptance rate at South Hills School of Business & Technology?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at South Hills School of Business & Technology is approximately 97% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024).

- South Hills School of Business & Technology's published in-state tuition is approximately $19,905 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25).

- How many students attend South Hills School of Business & Technology?
- South Hills School of Business & Technology reports total enrollment of approximately 260 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 South Hills School of Business & Technology actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at South Hills School of Business & Technology is approximately $19,673 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 $13,879 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $26,966. 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 South Hills School of Business & Technology?
- South Hills School of Business & Technology reports a graduation rate of approximately 73% (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 South Hills School of Business & Technology have?
- Students who borrowed at South Hills School of Business & Technology left with a median of approximately $16,000 in federal loans, and about 75% 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 South Hills School of Business & Technology earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $35,539 for students who received federal financial aid at South Hills School of Business & Technology. 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 South Hills School of Business & Technology?
- 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 South Hills School of Business & Technology.
- How much do Allied Health (diagnostic and treatment) graduates from South Hills School of Business & Technology earn?
- South Hills School of Business & Technology's associate's graduates in Allied Health (diagnostic and treatment) earned a median $71,444 four years after graduating, 9% above the $65,389 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). Graduates who borrowed took out a median $19,500 in federal loans at this college (about $207 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $20,875 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
- How much do Computer Science graduates from South Hills School of Business & Technology earn?
- South Hills School of Business & Technology's associate's graduates in Computer Science earned a median $51,162 four years after graduating, 18% below the $62,283 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard).
- Which programs at South Hills School of Business & Technology have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 3 programs at South Hills School of Business & Technology with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Allied Health (diagnostic and treatment), associate's ($71,444); Computer Science, associate's ($51,162); and Medical Assisting and Allied Health, associate's ($35,168) (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 South Hills School of Business & Technology get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, South Hills School of Business & Technology's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $45,158, above the $35,008 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Pennsylvania, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
