How we worked these out

The family

A family of four with good parent credit and $500 a month to put toward college, and the savings you pick. In state, the grants are what Schreiner University reports families at that income got, on average. Your own will differ, and a family with no aid pays close to the full price.

What a SmartTuition plan saves

The difference, over four years, between a SmartTuition plan and the standard approach: savings first, then loans for the rest. It counts loan interest and the federal tax credit.

The $6,900 in the “Pay less for college” box near the top of this page is the median saving in Schreiner University's own scenarios. Each scenario is a household that lives in Texas, with an income from $45,000 to $200,000 and savings of none, $40,000 or $100,000 in a 529. We price Schreiner University at the aid it reports for that income.

Every scenario has parents with good credit and $500 a month toward college. The card above uses the same two. A scenario where the parents would borrow more than $65,000 is left out.

The prices by income

  • They describe students who got aid.
  • “Over $110,000” has no upper limit, so it averages families just over $110,000 with far wealthier ones. A family at $115,000 should expect to pay less than it shows.
  • Each range is reported on its own, so the prices do not always rise with income.

Grants from the college

How many first-year students got a grant from Schreiner University, and the average, are the Department of Education's figures for full-time students who started in 2023-24. They cover every income. The prices after grants already count these grants, so don't take them off again. The Department of Education's page for Schreiner University →

Where the prices come from

Where the prices come from: Schreiner University's own 2027-28 tuition and fees, from its website. Housing, food and books are the College Scorecard's. The grants are the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard (2025-26 figures), carried forward to 2027 at 4.0% a year. Each price after grants is the cost less those grants. The average price after grants counts the students who get federal aid. Your own figure will be different.

Schreiner University fixes tuition for four years for students who start in fall 2027. For them, our four-year figures keep tuition flat and let fees, housing and food rise.
