Midland College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Midland College?

Midland College's published 2024-25 IPEDS figures show average full-time undergraduate tuition of $3,930 for in-state students and $5,190 for out-of-state students, with $990 in required fees in either category. On those figures, tuition and required fees total $4,920 or $6,180, respectively, before living and course-related expenses.

• Reported annual room and board: $6,000, comprising $2,400 for a room and $3,600 for board.
• Reported books and supplies: $2,163.
• Tuition, required fees, room and board, and books together: $13,083 for an in-state student or $14,343 for an out-of-state student, using the figures above.

Those combined amounts are not a complete personal budget: transportation, personal expenses, and program-specific materials may add to the cost. A commuter would budget for housing and food differently from a resident, while a part-time student's charges depend on enrollment and residency.

Net price means the estimated cost after grant and scholarship aid, not after loans. In the same reported figures, average net price was $4,677 for students from families earning $48,000 or less and $6,972 for those in the next income band, through $75,000. These are group averages, not individual aid offers. About 75% of students received financial aid, while 2% received student loans; students should check their own aid eligibility and current tuition schedule before committing to a budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Midland College?

Midland College students can explore financial aid, student employment, and career services, but these serve different purposes. Federal Work-Study is need-based aid that provides eligible students the opportunity to earn wages through an approved job; it is not a grant paid in full at the start of a term or a guarantee of a position.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), review their aid eligibility, and ask the financial aid office how to find and apply for available jobs. Ordinary part-time employment does not require a Work-Study award, although its hours and pay are set by the employer rather than by a financial aid offer. Eligible students can also explore federal grants, Texas aid, college scholarships, and veterans' education benefits through the appropriate offices.

For career planning, Midland College reports services that include individual and group counseling, career-interest testing, résumé preparation, interview practice, job listings, job fairs, and employer recruitment. These services may help with a job search, but their availability is not an employment outcome or a promise of placement.
