Blinn College’s board of trustees voted to keep tuition and general fee rates unchanged for the 2026-27 school year. This is the second year in a row without a tuition increase.
The cost
According to a news release from Blinn, trustees set in-district tuition at $64 per semester credit hour for students living in Blinn’s taxing district in Washington County. Out-of-district Texas residents will continue to pay $123 per credit hour, while out-of-state students pay $279 per credit hour. These rates are also unchanged this year.
The college’s general fee will remain at $80 per credit hour.

In addition to holding tuition steady, Blinn trustees approved small adjustments to auxiliary services. Housing and meal plan rates will increase by about 1%, and select course, lab and auxiliary fees were updated to help offset program costs.
What else
According to data from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Blinn students pay about 52% less in tuition and general fees than the average public university in Texas.
Blinn also offers more than 350 endowed scholarships, including programs with Washington and Austin counties that provide up to $2,250 in tuition support for eligible students.
