A private college education of Trinity’s quality is a major investment, and we understand that many families are apprehensive about their ability to cover these costs. Trinity is committed to assisting our students and their families navigate the often complicated financial aid process. Our comprehensive program is designed to address the concerns of families at all income levels.

• 86% of Trinity’s freshmen received financial aid last year.


• The University distributes over $37 million in financial aid annually.


• Financial aid at Trinity comes in various forms:
