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.

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.

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

As far as colleges go, Trinity is a cheaper option. But, academically, it can compete. Don't let the price tag fool you, this is a great college.
Christine from Wheaton, IL
The entire place is almost brand new with the new buildings and you really are paying for the quality of the living and the education.
Daniel from Roscoe, IL
Of course, I think college is a little pricey, but overall the tuition goes to good use.
Brittany from WAUKEGAN, IL
Trinity is an expensive school but they offer so much. The student life, spacious dorms, and constant flow of food are all added into the cost of tuition. That doesn't include the counseling center and tutoring that they offer at no additional cost. You also can't beat the four dollar smoothies they have at the cafe!
Paige A.
Trinity is expensive, but it doesn't have to break the bank. I personally did not have to take out a single loan, and I come from a very middle-class family. Trinity is worth every dollar you spend. The classes are great, the campus life is so fun, and the experience is something that can't be beat!
Rachel
Its a pricy school (which is expected since its private) but I love it there. Its worth the price!
