Estimated Cost of Attendance

Cost of Attendance

How much does it cost to attend ETBU? Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of the expenses you may have while attending East Texas Baptist University. Financial aid eligibility is determined using your COA along with other factors, including your enrollment and financial aid application information.

Your Cost of Attendance may include both direct costs, which are typically charged by ETBU, and indirect costs, which are expenses you may have while attending college but generally do not pay directly to ETBU.

• Room & Meals: Estimated cost of housing and meals, based on your living arrangement.
