The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio

What is the cost of studying for a year at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio?

For 2024-25, published full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled $10,991 for Texas residents: $7,767 in tuition plus $3,224 in fees. The corresponding nonresident total was $27,776, including the same stated required fees. These are tuition-and-fee amounts, not a complete annual cost of attendance.

Published full-time graduate tuition and required fees for that reporting period totaled $4,648 for residents and $14,306 for nonresidents. Professional programs can use different tuition schedules and charges, so a medical, dental or other professional student should use the budget for the exact program rather than the general graduate figure. Part-time charges also depend on credits taken.

A realistic budget adds housing, food, books and supplies, transportation, personal expenses and any program-specific costs. Students must arrange housing independently, making commuting and clinical-site travel particularly important expenses. Financial aid can reduce what a student pays, but loans must be repaid: in the 2024-25 institutional figures, 52% of students used student loans, and undergraduate grant recipients received an average award of $5,863. An average grant is not an individual aid offer or an average net price.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, applicable Texas aid, institutional scholarships and military or veteran education benefits. Filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is generally the starting point for federal aid. Scholarship applications, eligibility rules and priority dates may differ by school, so the program's current cost-of-attendance budget and financial aid instructions are the appropriate basis for a personal estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio?

Students may find paid work through campus positions, research settings or health-related employers, but a job should not be assumed to be part of an aid award. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through an approved job; it is not a grant paid automatically at the start of a term.

Ordinary part-time jobs do not require a Federal Work-Study award, while clinical placements and internships may be unpaid curricular requirements rather than employment. Students should check their aid offer and the university's current student-job postings to distinguish these options. Research assistantships and other paid academic roles may have separate eligibility rules, especially at the graduate level.

Career support is also distinct from paid work or an employment outcome. Program faculty, clinical-placement staff and professional schools may help students navigate field-specific opportunities, while university career resources may offer job-search and professional-development assistance. Applicants who need a particular service - such as résumé review, interview preparation or employer recruiting - should confirm its availability for their degree program.
