Trinity University is committed to helping students obtain the maximum amount of financial assistance possible. However, students must assume responsibility for complying with all requirements necessary to process their financial aid. Additionally, it is the responsibility of students (and not Trinity University) to ensure their financial obligations are properly met.

It is also very important that you know and understand the eligibility criteria for your financial aid awards, as well as the difference between the awards, what is required to keep and renew them, and how your aid may change in future years.

University gift aid (scholarships and grants) is capped at tuition. If a student withdraws from Trinity University and received financial aid, the student may owe a refund to federal programs or to Trinity.

Your award package may include need-based aid from federal and state sources, and other educational benefits you may expect to receive from outside sources. Some awards are contingent upon available funding and your success in meeting the student eligibility requirements for federal, state and institutional financial aid programs. Your total need-based aid cannot exceed your financial need. Additionally, your total financial aid package, including need and merit-based aid, cannot exceed the total cost of attendance (COA) at Trinity.
