Tuition, Cost & Aid
Affordability and Cost
Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.
Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying
I rated this 4 stars because sometimes the food quality isn't the best. About 1 out of every 5 visits to the cafeteria left much to be desired. Dorms are top notch though, as well as the new upgrades we're getting on campus. The new courtyard is always packed because of how great it is.
Preston from Portland, TX
TAMUK's tuition is much lower than other schools. The small size allows for individualized attention. In my opinion, TAMUK is a great value.
Allison from Bishop, TX
You definitely get your moneys worth here, good school, very low price in comparison to a lot of other schools.
David from TX
You get what you paid for. Tuition is a little pricey, but this campus is great. Grass is cut, computers work, there are no buildings falling apart. What more could you want?
Laura from Rio Grande City, TX
I feel that I have gotten the best education and the money spent on it has been well worth it. I am currently a senior and honestly feel like I have gotten my moneys worth.
