For students enrolled less than half-time (less than 5 hours for graduate students and less than 6 hours for undergraduate students), only tuition/fees and books/supplies will be included in the cost of attendance.

Monthly Cost

Multiply your monthly cost by the number of months in your enrollment period. There are allowances for child care or dependent care costs if applicable. If student did not complete a FAFSA, the system defaults to on-campus.

Dependent Care

For additional dependents, students may increase cost by $285 per month for each dependent. Families who are separated from their children may, with documentation, be funded for three trips per twelve-month period at a cost not to exceed $250 per trip.

Child Care

For a single parent or working spouse family, childcare may be funded at the actual cost, not to exceed $780/month for 1 child, $1520/month for 2 children, and $3000/month for 3 or more children. An additional $17 per week will be allowed for infant care.

Tuition/Fees

An estimated amount for tuition/fees will be included based off the In-State tuition rate. This estimate is based on full-time enrollment. If students are enrolled less than full-time and are receiving federal financial aid, and the tuition/fee allowance in the cost of attendance is greater than the actual costs, the tuition/fee allowance will be reduced to actual cost. Tuition/fees for exception plans will only be adjusted if they are enrolled less than the budgeted time. If a student withdraws from UTMB during a term, the tuition/fees will be adjusted to reflect actual cost.

Books and Supplies

An estimated amount for books and supplies will be included. This estimate is based on actual costs for required books. This amount will be calculated for the entire enrollment period.

Students who repeat any given year will only be allowed $100 per semester for supplies during the repeated term.

Unusual Costs

A clothing allowance of $750 per year has been added to personal expenses for all students required to be in a clinical setting.
Externship/Preceptorship funding of $2000 will be allowed in the senior year of medical school.
Externship/Preceptorship funding of $1000 will be allowed in the clinical year for SHP students.
USMLE expenses have been included in the books/supplies allowance for year 2, 3 and 4 medical students. (year 2=$1000; year 3=$1000; year 4=$925).

Computer and Technology Allowance

Students may request a one-time Cost of Attendance (COA) increase of up to $3,000 for the purchase or replacement of a computer and other educational technology required for their program of study. This is not additional grant funding, but rather an increase to the student's financial aid budget (Cost of Attendance), which may allow the student to borrow additional loan funds, if otherwise eligible.

The maximum lifetime computer allowance is $3,000 and may be used in a single academic year or across multiple academic years. Please note that the full $3,000 may not be available if a portion of the computer allowance has previously been used internally to resolve a financial aid overaward.

Insurance

Each student must maintain health while a student at UTMB. This requirement can be met through your current private health insurance, or the UT System endorsed Student Health Insurance Plan through Blue Cross Blue Shield administered by Academic Health Plans.
