Azimuth ranks Temple University #1161 for post-graduation affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. Net prices by income band are medians within those bands; individual aid packages vary, so some families in each band pay more and some less than the figures shown. Texas College's financial aid structure combines need-based and merit components to help bridge the gap between sticker price and what families actually pay. The institution participates in federal (Pell Grants, Direct Loans) and state aid programs, and families apply using the FAFSA. Merit scholarships are available for qualifying students, and work-study is offered as part of aid packages. Median federal student loan debt at graduation is $24,395, and families using Parent PLUS borrow a median of $36,495; private or institutional loans may add further borrowing that falls outside these federal-only figures — see the Parent PLUS risk framework for how household context shapes PLUS decisions. For a graduate at the institution's median four-year earnings of $67,232, median federal debt of $24,395 projects to a monthly payment of about $276 under standard ten-year repayment.
