What is the cost of studying for a year at Wade College?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition at Wade College was $17,680 for the academic year for both Texas residents and out-of-state students. Reported required undergraduate fees were $0. Tuition alone is not a complete cost-of-attendance estimate.

  • Full-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $17,680 per academic year.
  • Reported mandatory undergraduate fees, 2024-25: $0.
  • Part-time undergraduate tuition, 2024-25: $737 per credit hour.

Students also need to budget for housing, food, books or materials, transportation and personal expenses. Because Wade does not operate student housing, those living costs will depend substantially on the student's circumstances. Applicants should request the college's current, program-specific cost-of-attendance budget rather than adding an assumed room-and-board charge to tuition.

Net price means cost after grants and scholarships, not the published tuition rate. In 2024-25 reporting, the average net price for students from families with annual income of $48,000 or less was $19,771. That average is not an individual aid offer and can exceed tuition because it includes other attendance expenses. In the same reporting period, 88% of students received financial aid and 79% used student loans. Eligible students may seek grants, scholarships, loans or applicable military education benefits; the financial aid office can explain the required aid application and provide an individualized estimate before a student commits to borrowing.

What are the work-study opportunities at Wade College?

Wade College reports career-search services, but availability of a Federal Work-Study allocation or specific campus jobs should be confirmed with its financial aid office. Federal Work-Study is a need-based aid program that pays eligible students for work performed; it is not a grant credited in full against tuition or a guaranteed job.

Reported career services include individual and group counseling, résumé help, interview workshops, a job bank, employer referrals, job fairs and alumni networking opportunities. These services can support a search for part-time work or internships, but using them is different from receiving a work-study award. Applicants who need employment income to meet their budget should ask which positions are currently available, how hiring works and whether any award appears in their aid offer.
