For the 2024-25 academic year, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at AIU-Houston was $14,169, with $660 in required fees, for a combined published amount of $14,829. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. They do not include living expenses, books, transportation, or personal costs.
Books and supplies were reported at about $1,200. Because the institution did not report college-operated undergraduate housing, a living-expense allowance should not be mistaken for a residence-hall or meal-plan charge. An individual cost-of-attendance budget may also include transportation and other allowable expenses; applicants need the current budget for their program, enrollment level, and housing situation rather than adding unrelated published figures together.
Financial aid can change the amount a student pays, but loans must generally be repaid. In 2024-25 reporting, 83% of students received financial aid, while 76% had student loans. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $6,165. For students from families earning up to $48,000, the reported average net price was $20,541; that measure reflects costs after grant aid for a defined group, not a quote for every applicant. Eligible students may investigate federal grants and loans, applicable state or institutional assistance, and military education benefits. The current aid offer and program-specific cost sheet are the documents to use for a personal comparison.
AIU-Houston has reported career assistance, including résumé preparation, interview workshops, job fairs, and individual and group career counseling for undergraduates. It has also reported access to a career library, individual job-placement assistance, and on-campus employer recruitment. These services are distinct from a verified job offer or employment outcome.
Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program through which eligible students earn wages in approved jobs; it is not a grant paid automatically with tuition aid. A current Federal Work-Study allocation or campus job program is not established for the Houston location. Students interested in paid work should ask the financial aid office whether their aid offer includes Work-Study, how jobs are posted, and whether positions can accommodate their course schedule. Ordinary part-time employment and internships have separate hiring and academic-credit rules; an internship is not reported as a requirement for every AIU-Houston student.
