McMurry University

What is the cost of studying for a year at McMurry University?

For 2024-25, McMurry's reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $31,850, with $250 in required fees; the figures were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Published charges are a starting point, not necessarily the amount a student pays after grants and scholarships.

• Undergraduate tuition and required fees: $32,100 for the reported academic year.
• Typical room and board charges: $9,676 for the reported academic year.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $200 for the reported academic year.

Those three figures total $41,976, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and any applicable program costs also matter. A commuter or a student choosing a different housing or meal arrangement will have a different budget.

Financial aid can substantially change the price. McMurry reported that 99% of students received some form of financial aid in the relevant IPEDS measure. Reported average net prices varied by family income; for families earning $48,000 or less, the figure was $16,181. Net price is an average after grant aid, not an individual award or a promise about borrowing.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Texas aid, and institutional scholarships. They should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and check McMurry's current scholarship and priority-deadline instructions. Veterans and military-connected students should also ask how education benefits interact with institutional aid. An individual aid offer and the university's current cost-of-attendance budget provide a firmer comparison than the published tuition figure alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at McMurry University?

McMurry students can explore part-time work and career-development services, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are three different things. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid that, if awarded, generally lets an eligible student earn wages through approved employment; the award is not money paid automatically toward a bill.

Students seeking Work-Study should complete the FAFSA, review their aid offer, and ask the financial aid office how approved positions are posted and filled. Students without a Work-Study award can ask about other campus jobs. In either case, job availability, hiring, hours, and pay depend on the position.

For longer-term career planning, McMurry reports offering individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, career-interest testing, job listings, fairs, and employer recruitment. These services can help students look for internships or employment, but they should not be confused with a verified job-placement rate or a job offer.
