San Antonio College

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

For 2024-25, the reported full-time undergraduate tuition was $5,400 for in-state students and $9,810 for out-of-state students. Reported required fees were $142. These are published charges, not a promise that every student will pay the same amount.

• In-state full-time tuition: $5,400 for 2024-25.
• Out-of-state full-time tuition: $9,810 for 2024-25.
• Required fees: $142 for 2024-25.
• Estimated books and supplies: $500.
• Reported room-and-board allowance: $14,252; this is a living-cost estimate, not a charge for a college residence hall.

A complete budget must also allow for transportation, personal expenses, and any program-specific supplies or fees. Part-time students face a different tuition calculation: the reported 2024-25 per-credit charges were $180 in-state and $327 out-of-state. Residency classification and the number and type of courses taken can substantially change the bill.

Financial aid changes the amount a student may ultimately need to cover. In the 2024-25 data, 89% of students received some form of financial aid, while 5% had student loans. Reported average net price - the estimated cost after grant and scholarship aid - for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $4,529. Net price is a cohort average, not an individualized award or a tuition-only figure.

Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, Texas aid, district or college scholarships, and applicable military education benefits. Completing the appropriate financial aid application and checking scholarship deadlines are separate tasks from applying for admission. Students comparing offers should distinguish grants, which generally do not need repayment, from loans and wages they must earn through work.

What are the work-study opportunities at San Antonio College?

Eligible San Antonio College students may be able to seek Federal Work-Study positions as part of a financial aid package. Work-Study is earned through a job; it is not a grant automatically paid to everyone who qualifies for aid.

Eligibility generally depends on financial need, enrollment, available funding, and completion of the required financial aid process. A Work-Study award establishes a potential earnings limit, but students still need to find and secure a qualifying position. Other campus or community part-time jobs may be available without Work-Study eligibility and follow their own hiring rules.

The college's career support includes individual and group counseling, career-interest resources, résumé help, job listings, job fairs, and employer recruitment opportunities. Those services can assist with a job search, but they should not be confused with a job offer or a required internship; an internship is not an institution-wide graduation requirement.
