Texas Woman's University

What is the cost of studying for a year at Texas Woman's University?

For 2025-26, TWU's reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $8,640 for Texas residents and $23,140 for nonresidents. Those figures combine tuition with mandatory fees; they do not include housing, meals, books, transportation, or personal expenses.

• Texas-resident undergraduate tuition: $5,712; required fees: $2,928.
• Nonresident undergraduate tuition: $15,552; required fees: $2,928.
• Reported annual room and board charge: $11,750.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,203.

Adding the reported room-and-board and books estimates to tuition and fees produces approximately $21,593 for a resident living with those charges, or $31,433 for a nonresident. Neither subtotal is a complete cost-of-attendance budget: transportation and personal expenses are additional, and actual housing, meal-plan, and course-material costs vary. A commuter's costs will have a different mix, not necessarily zero living expenses.

Financial aid changes what students may pay. In the reported aid data, 94% of students received some form of financial aid and 38% had student loans. Average net price - which accounts for grant and scholarship aid in the federal calculation - varied by family-income group; the reported average was $9,894 for families with annual income up to $48,000. An average net price is not an individual award estimate.

Eligible students can explore federal grants and loans, Texas grant programs, TWU scholarships, and military education benefits. Completing the FAFSA is a central step for federal aid and many need-based awards; students should also check TWU's scholarship procedures and priority dates. Compare aid offers by separating grants and scholarships from loans and student earnings, which must be repaid or earned.

What are the work-study opportunities at Texas Woman's University?

TWU students can seek part-time work, and eligible students may receive Federal Work-Study as part of a financial aid offer. Work-Study is a need-based employment program, not a grant paid automatically: recipients generally must secure a qualifying job and earn wages for hours worked.

Ordinary student jobs may be open to applicants without a Work-Study award. Availability, schedules, and hiring requirements depend on the employer and position. Students should distinguish an aid offer listing Work-Study from a confirmed job, and check the university's student employment listings for application instructions.

TWU's career services also support the longer-term job search. Reported services include individual career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, career fairs, and opportunities to connect with alumni. An internship can provide experience in some programs, but TWU does not require one of every student.
