Most families pay $15,137 annually after aid, far below the $23,865 sticker price. Low-income students (under $30K) pay just $10,936 per year, while wealthy families ($110K+) pay $22,683. Over four years, total costs range from $43,744 to $90,732 depending on family income. Nearly 40% of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting the university's accessibility to working-class Texas families.

Graduates carry a median debt of $23,000, translating to $244 monthly payments. With median earnings of $51,865 ten years after graduation, loan payments consume about 6% of income. The 52% loan repayment rate suggests some struggle with debt management. In-state students get the strongest value proposition here, representing 96% of enrollment and paying less than the out-of-state rate of $21,033. First-generation college students from Hispanic families, who make up over half the student body, find particularly strong financial support.
