Cost Overview

Most families pay $7,681 annually after aid, though costs vary dramatically by income. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $6,683, while those from households above $110,000 face $12,936. Over two years, total expenses range from $13,366 to $25,872. This West Texas community college keeps costs manageable for the 94% who stay in-state.

Graduates typically leave with $9,500 in debt, translating to $101 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $38,382 within ten years, that's roughly 3% of income going to loans. The 42% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle initially, though 91% find employment. Only 9% of students need federal loans, and 19% receive Pell Grants.

Low-income students get the best financial deal here. The college's institutional grants average $5,301, and the gap between what poor and wealthy families pay stays relatively narrow compared to four-year schools.
