Texas Wesleyan University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Texas Wesleyan University?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Texas Wesleyan was $34,608, with $4,974 in required fees. The reported rates were the same for in-state and out-of-state students. Together, tuition and required fees totaled $39,582 before housing, food, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

Reported annual room and board charges were $12,526, and books and supplies were estimated at $1,000. Adding those amounts to tuition and fees produces $53,108, but that is not a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation and personal expenses still need to be considered, and a commuter's housing and food costs will differ from residence-hall charges. Part-time undergraduates had a reported tuition charge of $1,154 per credit hour; applicable fees can increase the bill.

Financial aid changes the amount a student may ultimately pay. In the reported aid data, 99% of students received some form of financial aid, and the average undergraduate grant award was $25,892. Those are group averages, not an individual award. For students in the lowest reported family-income band, $0-$48,000, the average net price was $22,876 after grant and scholarship aid. Net price is more useful than sticker price for budgeting, but it can still leave costs to be paid through savings, earnings, or loans. Applicants should complete the FAFSA, review eligibility for federal and Texas aid and institutional scholarships, and compare their own aid offer with the university's full current-year expense budget.

What are the work-study opportunities at Texas Wesleyan University?

Texas Wesleyan students can pursue part-time employment and career-development support, but a campus job, Federal Work-Study award, and internship are three different things. Federal Work-Study is need-based financial aid that supports wages from an eligible job; receiving an award does not mean the student is paid without working or is guaranteed a position.

Students interested in Work-Study should complete the FAFSA and check their aid offer and available job postings. Ordinary student employment may have different eligibility rules, while an internship may be paid, unpaid, or taken for academic credit. Texas Wesleyan's career services include individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking opportunities. The university does not require an internship of every student. Applicants should ask their intended department which placements are built into the major and whether those placements are paid.
