Tuition and Costs
HOW MUCH DOES COLLEGE COST FOR UNDERGRADUATES?
So you are ready to build your college experience at Trinity? We believe college should be accessible to all, and your top choice should not be limited by a bottom-line number. We believe college pricing should be transparent and easy to understand. We believe college tuition should be realistic and never sacrifice quality for pricing. We believe a high-quality education can be available to more students than ever before. Trinity is committed to making college tuition accessible, realistic, and transparent.

& financial aid package
All students with accepted financial aid in excess of charges billed by the College may request a book voucher from the Business Office in order to purchase books and supplies from the College Bookstore, starting 10 days prior to the start of the term.
Students receiving a Federal Pell Grant can receive a book voucher even if they do not have an anticipated credit balance. Students are advised that any amount of Federal Pell Grant used to purchase books and supplies is no longer available to pay tuition, which in effect increases the student’s balance due to the college.
