Cost of Attendance
Estimated student budgets for 2025-2026 have been developed as guides to help students anticipate their costs at Tennessee Tech. We recognize that spending habits vary from student to student. Some students may get by on less money, while others may feel that they need more, depending on individual lifestyles and circumstances. A student's eligibility for financial aid, however, will be based not on individual preferences and spending habits, but on these standard budget allowances.
The standard budgets do not include consumer debts such as car payments, bank loans, or credit card bills. Students should take all steps possible to eliminate or otherwise account for all previous debt obligations and avoid additional obligations during enrollment. These budgets are estimates for the regular nine-month academic year only.
Summer school budgets are different due to the shorter calendar, and require a separate application for assistance. If you are interested in aid for the summer sessions, submit the electronic Summer Semester Application found on our website --AFTER spring break each year.
