Cost Overview
Most students at Trident Technical College actually get paid to attend. The average net price sits at negative $3,220, meaning financial aid covers tuition and provides extra cash for living expenses. Families earning $75,000 to $110,000 pay just $335 per year, while those making over $110,000 pay $2,562 annually. Over two years, costs range from free to around $5,100 for higher-income families.
The debt picture looks manageable for those who do borrow. With median debt of $13,029, graduates face monthly payments of $138. That's reasonable against median earnings of $38,253 ten years out, though only 29% successfully repay their loans. The college serves a largely local population, with 97% of students from South Carolina.
Low-income students get the best financial deal here, often walking away debt-free with money left over for books and transportation.
