3. Complete FAFSA
Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), if you are interested in student loans or on-campus employment. Only students who are United States citizens or eligible non-citizens can complete the FAFSA. The FAFSA should be completed and submitted electronically. Trinity’s school code is 001772. You should submit your application as early as possible. Go to studentaid.gov >>
4. Review and return your reward letter
Upon review of your financial aid application and FAFSA results, we will send you an award letter. Be sure to return the signed award letter within 30 days of receipt. If you are awarded Federal Direct Loans, and are a first-time borrower at Trinity, you must complete a Master Promissory Note and online entrance counseling using the Federal Student Aid portal. Go to studentaid.gov >>
Financial Aid Package
A financial aid package will not be awarded until acceptance is finalized. However, students should not wait for acceptance before applying for financial aid. While there is not a specific deadline for financial aid, students are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Financial aid will not be awarded after the start of classes.
Scholarships
At TEDS, nearly 95% of our students receive some form of financial aid. At Trinity we offer scholarships, grants, rebates, and other aid options to help pay for the cost of schooling. Learn more about what is available below or by contacting the Financial Aid Office at [email protected].
