Cost Overview

Most families pay around $11,000 per year at Trinidad State after aid kicks in. Low-income students with family earnings under $30,000 pay about $10,500 annually, while wealthy families earning over $110,000 face the full $21,000 sticker price. Over four years, costs range from $42,000 to $85,000 depending on your family's income.

Graduates typically leave with $8,908 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $94. That's manageable against median earnings of $36,475 ten years out. The 44% Hispanic student population reflects Trinidad State's mission to serve southern Colorado's diverse communities. Only 13% of students receive institutional grants, but when they do, the average award is $8,074.

Colorado residents get the best deal here. Three-quarters of students pay in-state rates of $4,468 rather than the $7,100 out-of-state tuition.
