Huston-Tillotson University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Huston-Tillotson University?

The IPEDS 2024-25 figures list full-time undergraduate tuition of $24,013 and required fees of $2,696 for both in-state and out-of-state students. Together, those reported charges total $26,709 before housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

Other published cost figures associated with the university list substantially lower annual undergraduate tuition, including $12,569 in a separate 2026 listing. These figures should not be combined into one annual budget or treated as interchangeable. An applicant should obtain the university's current, term-specific tuition schedule and a personalized cost-of-attendance estimate before making a deposit.

For perspective, a separately reported typical academic-year room charge is $4,352 and board charge is $3,962. Those housing figures are not part of the tuition-and-fees total above and should not be added to it as though every amount came from the same academic year or applied to every student. An official cost-of-attendance budget also accounts for expenses such as supplies and transportation, including for students who live off campus.

Net price means estimated attendance cost after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans. Reported average net price was $19,361 for students from families earning up to $48,000, compared with $20,487 for families in the next income band, up to $75,000. These are group averages rather than quotes for an individual student. Reported aid data also show that 96% of students received financial aid and 69% had student loans; receiving aid therefore should not be equated with attending debt-free. Eligible students may use federal grants, loans, institutional assistance, and applicable state or military benefits, subject to each program's rules and the financial aid application process.

What are the work-study opportunities at Huston-Tillotson University?

Huston-Tillotson students can pursue employment alongside their studies, including Federal Work-Study when it is offered to them as part of an eligible financial aid package. Work-Study is a way to earn wages through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically against a tuition bill, and an award does not guarantee a particular position or number of hours.

Students interested in campus work should complete the applicable financial aid steps, review their award notice, and ask the financial aid office how positions are advertised and hired. Jobs outside Federal Work-Study may have different eligibility rules. Internships, meanwhile, can offer career experience but are not necessarily paid or counted as work-study.

Career support reported for undergraduates includes individual and group counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job listings, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking. Those services can help with a job search, but their availability is not an employment-outcome statistic.
