The average aid recipient sees about 62% of the published cost covered by grants and scholarships, which reduces the sticker price by roughly $13,292. That is an average across all aided students, not a guarantee for any one family, and the sticker price remains the starting point before aid is applied.

Average [net price](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/)s are higher for families with greater income. The lowest band, under $30,000, averages $5,317; the highest, over $110,000, averages $20,285.

The spread between those two ends is $14,968, a pattern of lower costs at lower incomes rather than a fixed discount.

The published cost of attendance is $21,401, and Azimuth ranks Texas A&M University-Victoria #80 for affordability among nonprofit four-year institutions. After grants and scholarships, the average [net price](/analysis/is-college-worth-it-part-1-the-net-price-illusion/) for aid recipients from families earning under $30,000 is $5,317, for those earning $48,001 to $75,000 it is $17,553, and for those earning over $110,000 it is $20,285.

The spread between the lowest and highest bands is $14,968. Aid covers about 62% of the published cost for the average aid recipient.

That is $2,256 below the peer median of $21,229 at comparable institutions. 77.7% of federal aid recipients take federal loans.

Parents who borrow hold a separate median of $11,724 in [Parent PLUS](/analysis/ou-what-happens-when-parents-borrow-too/) loans. If repaid over ten years, the median federal student debt corresponds to an estimated payment of $216 a month. It estimates costs and payments based on your own circumstances.

2.  Good 8–under 12%
3.  Concerning 12–20%
4.  High risk Over 20%

How this estimate works

These are modeled earnings scenarios, not observed earnings percentiles. Annual student payments ÷ (earnings − basic-expense allowance). The starting allowance, $22,590, uses the published framework’s 2024 baseline; it is not a current local living-cost estimate. Change it for your budget, including taxes and other obligations. This combines school-level figures for illustration, not a typical individual’s budget or an official school rating. Parent PLUS is separate.

Payment assumptions

Payments are 10-year standard payments on the median balance, before loan fees, used as a yardstick. Rates for newly issued loans may differ, and loans made after July 1, 2026 can repay over a longer term; existing loans keep their original fixed rates.
