Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

What Students Are Saying

excellent financial aid department and numerous scholarships. they also have top notch instructors who are passionate about what they teach, so combine super low tuition with some of the best professors in the state and you get lots of bang for every buck. small classes too.
Nathanael from Bozrah, CT
certainly worth the money. very inexpensive, especially for connecticut residents. there are a lot of financial aid options that the college will help you with.
Adam from Pawcatuck, CT
the tuition is great here, my financial aid covers all of it every year that i apply and i always get money back for books which can also be applied to the bookstore! the staff in the financial aid office is really helpful too!
Mindy from Gales Ferry, CT
its a good education for a lower cost when you need to get the first 2 years done.
Stephanie from New London, CT
Many classes transfer to other schools because staff has worked hard to find accredited 4-year schools to accept transfers from Three Rivers Community College. Ask about businesses that offer employment after receiving a degree or certification from TRCC.
Catherine from New London, CT
You get way more out of it than you pay. You can get the same education for about $2000 as people going to schools for ten times as much money. It is an absolute bargain!
David from Norwich, CT
Going to Three Rivers to get some general education out of the way for transferring is a great way to save money. The tuition is very reasonable.
