Students are notified of most academic merit awards in their letter of admission. Notification for all other aid is April 1, assuming your family has submitted the FAFSA. Your letter will list each individual award for which you qualify, and you will be asked to accept or decline each scholarship, grant, campus employment opportunity, and loan that has been offered to you. It is important that you read all information pertaining to each award, and understand the conditions and terms associated with each. To reserve awarded funds, students must complete, sign and return Trinity's financial aid letter by May 1.

If you have questions about your financial aid award letter, please call us at (800) TRINITY. We’re here to answer your questions and want to help you understand the various components of your financial aid award. We’ll even assist you in comparing financial aid awards. We want you to make the best decision possible.

2008-2009 Sample TU Award Letter

Please note that acceptance of the financial aid award does not complete Trinity's admission process. A $500 enrollment deposit is required by February 1 for Early Decision candidates, and May 1 for all other candidates, to reserve a place in the class.

Since financial aid is awarded based on your academic profile, expected family contribution (EFC), demonstrated need, and the availability of funds, your EFC may be more or less than your out-of-pocket expense to the university.
