TCU is private, but surprisingly affordable. Don't rule out a private education before you know your actual cost. Did you know that many TCU students who qualify for need-based financial aid can attend TCU for about half the actual tuition price? All students should apply for financial aid. TCU also participates in the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate programs, which encourage low-income and minority undergraduates to consider careers in college teaching as well as prepare for doctoral study. Students who participate in this program are provided with research opportunities and faculty mentors. Scholarships are also available for students who earned exceptional high school credentials.
