Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $10,327 per year, while those from wealthy families ($110,000+ income) pay the full $22,969. Over four years, costs range from about $41,000 to $92,000 depending on family income. Only 9.54% of students receive institutional grants, but the average grant is $10,102 for those who get them.
Graduates typically leave with $18,194 in debt, which translates to monthly payments of $193. Since the median starting salary is $48,424, loan payments take up less than 5% of gross income. The real bargain here belongs to Texas residents, who make up 95.77% of students and pay in-state tuition of just $9,711.
