by our College Data Analytics TeamThis page focuses on the debt students take on to attend DeHart Technical School— how much they borrow, how that debt is spread across the student body, and what it costs to pay back. These figures are reported by the Department of Education and IPEDS.
At DeHart Technical School, 48% of first-year students take on loan debt, with a typical loan of $5,429 each — a figure that counts both private and federal student loans.
The average federally funded loan is $5,429, representing 98.7% of the $5,500 cap on first-year federal borrowing for the typical dependent student. Keep in mind the all-undergraduate averages further down count federal loans only, unlike this private-plus-federal freshman figure.
Counting every undergraduate at DeHart Technical School, 46% rely on federal student loans toward their education, with a mean of $5,562 annually. That is 2.4% larger than the freshman federal average of $5,429.
Carrying that yearly figure forward comes to roughly $11,124 in two years and roughly $22,248 over four years. The estimate holds federal borrowing constant and does not count private or Parent PLUS loans.

Subsidized vs. Unsubsidized Loans
Subsidized loans pause interest while you are in school; unsubsidized loans do not. That difference compounds over four years, so the type of loan you take matters as much as the amount.
Important to Remember
Federal student loans are not discharged in bankruptcy in all but the rarest cases, and the government can withhold part of your income or tax refund if you default.
