Cost of attending West Texas University?

Hello folks. I'm trying to make a list of colleges to apply to, and West Texas University caught my eye. However, I can't seem to nail down the tuition cost. Can anyone help me out here? Also, any information about financial aid would be super helpful.

Sure, I can provide some information on that! West Texas University, also known as West Texas A&M University (WTAMU), is a public university, meaning the tuition varies based on whether you're an in-state or out-of-state student.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, the estimated tuition and fees per year for in-state students amount to around $9,664. For out-of-state students, the estimated costs are significantly higher, around $11,376. Please note that these are just tuition and fees; the total cost of attendance also includes room and board, textbooks, personal expenses, and transportation, which can bring the total cost of attendance to an estimated $19,013 for in-state students and $20,725 for out-of-state students per year.

For financial aid, you will first need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for federal and state aid programs, as well as for institutional aid that WTAMU offers. The school provides a range of aid, including grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. Grants, such as the Federal Pell Grant and the Texas Public Education Grant, are forms of aid that do not need to be paid back.

WTAMU also offers a variety of scholarships for both in-state and out-of-state students. Some of these scholarships are based on academic merit, while others might depend on your demonstrated financial need. There are also specific scholarships for certain majors or fields of study.

Remember, it's always a good idea to reach out directly to the financial aid office at the university for the most accurate and current information about tuition and financial aid options.
