Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Fortis Institute-Lawrenceville

Fortis Institute-Lawrenceville's allied health program sits right at New Jersey's median for earnings, delivering exactly what most students in the state can expect from this field. With graduates earning $27,871 in their first year and reaching $28,877 by year four, the program performs modestly above national averages and ranks in the 60th percentile among New Jersey schools. However, the state's top performers earn $5,000+ more annually, suggesting room for improvement.

The financial picture is straightforward and manageable. At $9,500 in median debt—matching both state and national medians—students face a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.34, meaning they'll owe roughly four months of their first-year salary. This is comfortable territory for most families, especially given that 73% of students receive Pell grants, indicating the program serves those who need affordable pathways into healthcare careers.

For parents seeking a reliable entry point into allied health without crushing debt, this program delivers exactly that—no more, no less. The earnings are steady if unspectacular, and the debt load won't derail your child's financial future. If your student is motivated and debt-conscious, this represents a solid foundation, though families willing to explore other New Jersey options might find programs with stronger earning potential.
