Saint Edward's University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Saint Edward's University?

St. Edward's has the same reported full-time undergraduate tuition for Texas residents and students from other states. For 2024-25, the reported tuition was $50,484, with $900 in required fees. These are published charges before grants and scholarships, not the amount every student ultimately pays.

• Tuition and required fees: $51,384 for 2024-25.
• Typical annual room and board charges: $14,358.
• Reported books and supplies allowance: $1,200.

Those items total $66,942 as an illustrative subtotal, not an official full cost-of-attendance estimate. Transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific charges would add to it; a commuter's housing and food costs could differ. Students comparing current offers should use the same academic year and living arrangement throughout, since newer published tuition should not be combined uncritically with older expense estimates.

Aid changes the picture, but it does not make the sticker price irrelevant. In the reported aid data, 98% of students received some form of financial aid and 48% had student loans. Average grant aid among recipients was $34,433; that average is not an award guaranteed to a new applicant. The reported average net price for families with annual income of $0-$48,000 was $20,136, compared with $38,389 for families above $110,000. Net price is an average cost after grant aid for a defined group, not an individual quote.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, Texas assistance such as the Tuition Equalization Grant, and institutional scholarships. Veteran and military education benefits may also apply. Submitting the FAFSA and reviewing the university's scholarship and priority-deadline instructions are practical steps toward an individualized aid offer. When comparing offers, separate grants from loans and check whether scholarships renew under the same conditions each year.

What are the work-study opportunities at Saint Edward's University?

St. Edward's students may pursue part-time employment alongside classes, including campus jobs and, for eligible students, Federal Work-Study positions. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid earned through paid work; an award does not place a student in a job or pay the full amount in advance.

Students should review their aid offer and the university's student-job postings to see which positions are open and how to apply. Ordinary part-time jobs can be available without a Work-Study award, while internships have separate academic and employer requirements. For students weighing hours against coursework, the important distinction is that wages depend on finding a position and working scheduled hours.

The university also offers career support beyond student employment. Reported services include individual career counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job-search resources, employer recruiting, career fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. Those services can help students look for work or internships, but they should not be interpreted as a placement guarantee or as evidence that every degree requires an internship.
