Tuition has skyrocketed at Texas colleges in the past five decades. Here's how much it costs for the 2022-23 school year across the state.
People gather in the courtyard outside the Rice Memorial Center at Rice University Thursday, April 1, 2021 in Houston. Rice University has announced an expansion of its student body and its campus. The physical expansion on the college’s 300 acres, will include a 12th residential college, a new engineering building, a building for the visual and dramatic arts, and a new student center that will largely replace the Rice Memorial Center.
Several Texas campuses, including Southern Methodist University, Texas Christian University, Baylor University and Rice University, have tuition over $50,000 for the fall and spring semesters combined. Room and board adds at least $10,000 more to the tab.Here is what the bills look like for annual 2022-2023 tuition bill several Texas colleges and universities:
Rice University is ranked as the second most expensive university in Texas, but is known for its generous needs-based merit. Qualified students from families earning under $75,000 receive full tuition, fees, room and board. Full-tuition scholarships are awarded to eligible undergraduates who have family incomes between $75,000 and $140,000. And students from families that earn between $140,000 and $200,000 may earn half tuition., but says the average freshman aid package awarded was $53,688.
If it seems dramatically higher than you remember, that's because tuition and fees have increased nearly 1,900 percent at private colleges since 1972. And for public schools, the increase has come at an even higher rate.
