As a high school junior, I'm starting to explore my college options, and Sam Houston State University caught my eye. I was wondering if there's a cost calculator out there that can help me estimate my expenses for attending SHSU. Thanks in advance!
Yes, Sam Houston State University (SHSU) provides a Net Price Calculator to help prospective students estimate their college costs. The calculator considers factors such as tuition, fees, housing, and meals, as well as any potential financial aid you might receive. Keep in mind that the Net Price Calculator is only meant to give you an estimate, and your actual costs may vary depending on your individual situation.
Here's the link to the SHSU Net Price Calculator:https://www.shsu.edu/dept/cashiers/cost/cost-calculator
When using the calculator, make sure to have your most recent tax information and financial documents handy, as it will ask for specific income and asset details. This will allow the calculator to give you a more accurate estimate of your net cost.
If you're looking for other ways to potentially lower your costs, remember to apply for scholarships and financial aid. Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to see if you qualify for federal grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. Additionally, many colleges, including SHSU, offer merit-based scholarships, and there are countless external scholarships you may be eligible for as well.
Best of luck with your college search and future at SHSU!
