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.

Tuition
In-State Tuition In-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. In-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students residing in the locality in which they attend school and may be a lower rate than in-state tuition if offered by the institution.
$25,610
Out-of-State Tuition Out-of-state tuition is the tuition charged by institutions to those students who do not meet the state's or institution's residency requirements. Out-of-district tuition is the tuition charged by the institution to those students not residing in the locality in which they attend school.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

Trinity is a very high priced school, which was my reason for not being able to return, but it was worth every penny.
Keisha from washington, DC
If you can't afford any other College/University in Washington, DC, I'd say that this is your GO-TO! Sits between two awesome schools (Howard and Catholic U), you're literally a walk away from Brookland Metro Station, there's plenty of shopping and attractions in all directions from downtown (Gallery Place/Chinatown/MetroCenter/WhiteHouse/ Smithsonian), north (downtown silver spring/wheaton mall), southwest(Pentagon city mall, Alexandria, airport), Southeast dc(navy yard, eastern marker, capitol hill), NW (georgetown, harbor, kennedy center, etc) and well our area NE/NW (Howard Theater, restaurants, columbia heights, U street, etc)

Trinity is expensive for it to be a private school but it is worth it. You will be getting a great education.
