Texas A&M University-Texarkana

What is the cost of studying for a year at Texas A&M University-Texarkana?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees total $8,349 for Texas residents and $24,680 for out-of-state students. Those amounts combine reported tuition of $6,209 or $22,540, respectively, with $2,140 in required fees; they do not represent the full cost of attendance.

• Texas-resident full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $8,349.
• Out-of-state full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $24,680.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $14,040.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,020.

Housing and food, books, transportation, and personal expenses can substantially raise a student's annual budget. Commuters may spend differently from residents, and the room-and-board figure should not be treated as a charge every student must pay. Part-time enrollment and graduate study also have different rates.

Financial aid changes the amount a student ultimately pays. Reported average net prices for families with annual income up to $48,000 are $11,494; for those earning $48,001-$75,000, the figure is $14,432. These are historical group averages after applicable grant aid, not individualized quotes. A student's current aid offer and cost-of-attendance budget are more useful for planning than published tuition alone.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Texas aid, and institutional scholarships by completing the applicable aid applications and meeting program deadlines. In the reported aid data, 97% of students received some form of financial aid and 45% had student loans; receiving aid does not necessarily mean receiving a grant. Veterans and eligible dependents can also ask the university's veterans services office how their specific education benefits apply.

What are the work-study opportunities at Texas A&M University-Texarkana?

Student employment can help cover expenses, but a campus job is separate from a scholarship or grant. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, generally provides the opportunity to earn wages through approved work rather than paying the full award automatically.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the financial-aid application, review their award, and ask how to apply for eligible positions. Other part-time jobs may be available without a Work-Study award, but hiring, hours, and eligibility depend on the employer. Before counting expected wages toward a semester budget, students should distinguish an offered job from an estimated opportunity to seek one.

Career support extends beyond paid campus work. Reported services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, job fairs, and on-campus employer recruitment. These services may help students find internships or employment, but their availability is not an employment outcome or a guarantee of a job offer.
