Cost Overview

Most TCU families pay far less than the $72,820 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $15,531 annually, while those from $110,000+ households pay $49,598. The average net price sits at $33,531 across all income levels. Over four years, that translates to $134,124 for a typical family. TCU's generous aid helps explain why only 25% of students take federal loans.

Graduates leave with a median debt of $21,500, creating monthly payments around $228. That's manageable against median earnings of $68,424 ten years out. The 76.58% loan repayment rate shows most alumni handle their debt successfully. TCU gives institutional grants averaging $27,401 to about 21% of students. Lower-income families get the best financial deal here, paying less than many public universities after aid.
