Cost Overview

Most families pay around $5,568 per year at Trenholm State, despite sticker prices reaching $8,700 for out-of-state students. Low-income families with earnings under $30,000 pay just $5,001 annually. Middle-income families earning $30,000-$48,000 see costs rise to $6,184, while those making $48,000-$75,000 pay $8,073. Two years here costs roughly $11,136 for most students.

The school serves a predominantly working-class population where 55% receive Pell Grants. Remarkably, no students take federal loans, suggesting families either pay out of pocket or rely on grants. Graduates earn $32,183 ten years after starting, making the investment manageable for most. Only 14% receive institutional aid, averaging $5,984 per recipient.

The best deal goes to Alabama residents from low-income families, who get nearly the same education as everyone else while paying thousands less than middle-income peers.
