The cost of attending HSC varies considerably by degree and Texas residency. For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees totaled approximately $10,224 for Texas residents and $24,415 for nonresidents. The corresponding reported graduate tuition-and-fee figures were approximately $7,835 and $22,560. These are category-level published charges, not a reliable price quote for every HSC professional program.
Medical, pharmacy, and other professional programs may have different tuition schedules and additional expenses for equipment, examinations, background checks, insurance, or clinical training. An annual cost of attendance also includes living expenses, books and supplies, transportation, and personal costs; adding those items to tuition is necessary when planning how much funding to secure. Compare the current program-specific cost-of-attendance budget with your aid offer, rather than treating a published tuition figure as the final amount you will pay.
Eligible students may use scholarships, grants, federal loans, or military education benefits, subject to the rules of their program and award. In the 2024-25 institutional figures, 53% of students received student loans; that proportion does not predict an individual student's borrowing. Applicants seeking federal aid should complete the FAFSA and review HSC's financial-aid instructions for their degree and enrollment period. Published costs and a student's net cost after aid are different measures.
HSC students may be able to combine study with paid campus employment, but job availability and eligibility depend on the position and academic program. Research assistantships and other academically related roles can also have different funding and workload rules from ordinary hourly student jobs.
Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, is a form of need-based student employment - not a grant paid automatically toward tuition. A student normally must obtain a qualifying job and earn the wages through work. Other part-time jobs do not require a Work-Study award. Applicants should review their aid offer and HSC employment postings, then ask their program whether a job's hours will fit required labs, placements, or clinical rotations.
For career development beyond paid student work, program advisers and HSC career-support resources can help students identify professional opportunities and prepare applications. A job posting, internship, assistantship, and clinical placement serve different purposes; none should be taken as evidence of a guaranteed post-graduation position.
