Affordability & How Financial Aid Can Help

More than two-thirds of our students receive some sort of financial assistance.  When you are admitted into college, you and your family will have a variety of questions about how your family will be able to maintain the costs for your college education. One of the most frequently asked questions among college applicants is, “How do I cover the costs for tuition, housing, meals, transportation and books.” Each family’s strategy will be different based on their personal circumstances.
There are numerous options available to make your education affordable. Texas Southern University offers many financial aid options to help you pay for college costs. Within this site you will find information about applying for financial assistance, costs, types of aid and more.
