Estimating Cost of Attendance:
The following websites can also help you determine an estimate cost of attending Texas A&M University-Texarkana:
- The College Scorecard: a consumer tool and resource to assist prospective students and their families as they evaluate options in selecting a school.
- The College Navigator: a consumer tool that provides school information to include tuition and fees, retention and graduation rates, use of financial aid, student loan default rates and features a cost calculator and school comparison tool.
- The "Paying For College" webpage: can be used by prospective students to enter the names of up to three schools and receive detailed financial information on each one and to enter actual financial aid award information.
Financial Aid Shopping Sheet: The Financial Aid Shopping Sheets below are an example of the Shopping Sheet that will be customized for you, once you are accepted to A&M-Texarkana, based on the information you submit on your FAFSA. The cost of attendance figures are based on Texas A&M University-Texarkana 2015-2016 cost of attendance data and the financial aid award figures are average awards provided to students. The Shopping Sheets do not reflect any VA benefits since the amount received is dependent upon the benefit being used. You can use the VA's GI Bill® Benefits Comparison Tool to determine the best VA benefit for you.
