Cost Overview

Most families pay around $10,400 annually after aid, though costs vary dramatically by income. Low-income students pay just $8,342 per year, while families earning over $110,000 pay $16,092. Over four years, that ranges from $33,400 to $64,400 total.

The 730-student historically black Christian college keeps tuition affordable at $11,720 for everyone. However, only 14.5% of students receive institutional grants averaging $17,784. Most students rely on federal aid, with 52% receiving Pell Grants. Nearly half take federal loans.

Graduates carry $27,000 in median debt, translating to $286 monthly payments. That represents a significant burden against median earnings of $33,000 ten years out. The 17.5% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle financially after graduation.

First-generation college students from low-income families get the best financial deal at this small Texas institution, paying less than $35,000 for a four-year degree.
