Hey, recently started looking into Prairie View A&M University. Can anyone here shed some light on their tuition? Trying to budget and plan out how much I would need. Any tips for seeking out financial aid or scholarships there?
Hello! Attending college requires some financial planning and it's great to start early. The tuition for in-state, full-time students at Prairie View A&M currently stands at approximately $11,299 per year while out-of-state, full-time students pay approximately $26,874 per year. These figures are for tuition and fees but do not include room and board, books, supplies, and additional personal expenses.
When it comes to financial aid, filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is typically the first step. This will allow Prairie View A&M to consider you for both general university and Texas State financial aid, grants, loans, and work-study programs. The priority deadline to submit the FAFSA for the best access to funds is usually January 15, so be sure to mark that on your calendar.
The university also offers a variety of scholarships. For instance, there's the Regents’ Student Merit Scholarship, which is the University’s most prestigious award. The Regents’ scholarship covers up to $10,000 per academic year for tuition and mandatory fees. You can find more scholarships on their website and details on how to apply. Be sure to check eligibility requirements and deadlines, and apply early to improve your chances. Good luck with your planning!
