Cost Overview

Most families pay between $6,434 and $9,880 annually depending on income, well below the $10,640 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 get the best financial deal at $6,434 per year. Even middle-income families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay $9,880 annually. Over two years, total costs range from $12,868 to $19,760.

Graduates carry a median debt of $10,500, resulting in monthly payments around $111. With median earnings hitting $36,072 ten years after graduation, that payment represents roughly 3.7% of monthly income. Only 8% of students take federal loans, keeping debt loads manageable. The Ponies keep costs low through minimal campus housing for just 249 students and strong state funding as a Texas community college.

Low-income students and East Texas residents get the strongest value here, with 90% of enrollment coming from in-state.
