Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $20,711 sticker price at UTRGV. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $5,006 per year after aid. The net price climbs to $16,528 for wealthy families earning over $110,000. Over four years, that ranges from $20,024 to $66,112 total.

The school keeps debt manageable for a Hispanic-serving institution in South Texas. Typical graduates owe $12,950, translating to monthly payments of $137. That's reasonable considering graduates earn a median $49,620 within ten years. Nearly 64% of students receive Pell Grants, reflecting the university's mission to serve low-income border communities.

Low-income students get the strongest deal here. They attend for less than many community colleges while earning a four-year degree that opens doors across the Rio Grande Valley's growing economy.
