Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than Trinity's $32,625 sticker price. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $12,034 per year, while those from families making $30,000-$48,000 pay even less at $9,624 annually. Middle-class families earning $48,000-$75,000 pay $11,213, though costs jump to $18,986 for families making $75,000-$110,000. Only the highest earners pay close to full price at $23,771. Over four years, this means total costs range from about $38,000 to $95,000 depending on family income.

Graduates leave with $25,009 in median debt, translating to monthly payments of $265. With median earnings of $55,700 ten years after graduation, most can handle these payments comfortably. The 68% loan repayment rate shows some graduates struggle, but starting salaries of $46,878 provide a decent foundation. Low-income students get the best financial deal here, paying roughly one-third what wealthy families pay.
