Cost Overview

Most McLennan families pay between $6,099 and $12,757 per year depending on income, well below the $3,660 sticker price for Texas residents. The lowest-income students get the best deal at around $6,100 annually. Over two years, total costs range from $12,200 to $25,500. Nearly 40% of students receive Pell Grants, keeping expenses manageable for working families.

Graduates who borrow typically owe $10,500, translating to monthly payments of $111. That debt load stays reasonable compared to median earnings of $39,163 ten years out. The 92% employment rate helps graduates find steady work after completing their programs. Only 22% of students need federal loans, suggesting most can afford McLennan without heavy borrowing.

The best deal goes to low-income Texas residents who qualify for financial aid. They access quality workforce training and university transfer programs for roughly the cost of a used car.
