For 2024-25 reporting, average full-time undergraduate tuition was listed at $5,400 for Texas residents and $9,810 for out-of-state students, with required fees listed at $142. These are reported annual figures, not a personalized bill. A student's tuition classification, number of credits, and any district residency rules can change the amount charged.
A complete student budget also needs transportation and personal expenses; adding tuition to the figures above would not produce a reliable universal cost of attendance. The college's official cost-of-attendance budget and tuition schedule are more useful for calculating a specific enrollment plan.
Financial aid changes what many students pay. The 2024-25 data indicate that 92% received financial aid and 3% received student loans. Eligible students may seek federal grants through the FAFSA, state assistance, Alamo Colleges scholarships, and veterans' education benefits. Average net price - cost after grant and scholarship aid - was $3,747 for students from families earning up to $48,000 in the reported income group; an individual award can differ substantially. Students should check the current FAFSA year and scholarship deadlines before relying on any estimate.
Eligible St. Philip's students may be able to earn wages through Federal Work-Study or other part-time employment while enrolled. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program: an award indicates potential eligibility, not a guaranteed job or money paid without working.
Students seeking Work-Study generally start with the FAFSA, review their financial-aid offer, and apply for available positions. Ordinary campus or off-campus part-time jobs have different eligibility and funding rules. For career-focused work, the college's career services include individual planning, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services can help a student find opportunities, but they are not verified job-placement outcomes.
