Tuition is not the full cost of attendance. Books, technology, transportation, living expenses, and program-specific charges can affect a student's budget; an online student's expenses will differ from those of a student who travels regularly to classes. Reported average net prices for students from families earning $0-$48,000 and $48,001-$75,000 were $12,932 and $21,499, respectively. Net price reflects costs after grant aid for the reporting population, so it should not be compared with tuition alone as though both figures cover the same expenses. An individual aid offer and program-specific budget provide a better estimate of what a student would pay.

Financial assistance can include federal grants for eligible undergraduates, student loans, applicable state aid, institutional assistance, and qualifying military or veteran education benefits. In 2024-25 reporting, 100% of the measured students received some form of financial aid, while 20% received student loans; those percentages do not mean every future applicant will qualify for the same support. The reported average undergraduate grant award was $7,261. Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the practical starting point for assessing federal aid and aid tied to FAFSA eligibility.

What are the work-study opportunities at Trine University-Regional/Non-Traditional Campuses?

Students seeking work while enrolled should distinguish Federal Work-Study from ordinary part-time employment. Work-Study is need-based federal aid awarded to eligible students through a financial aid offer; it provides an opportunity to earn wages from a qualifying job, not an automatic job placement or an upfront tuition discount.

Trine students can ask the financial aid office whether Work-Study is included in their own offer and how approved openings are advertised for their campus or online program. Separately, career services can assist with employment preparation, such as exploring roles, preparing application materials, and identifying internships or other experience related to a major. A paid job, an academic internship, and a Work-Study position can have different eligibility and credit rules, even when they involve similar work.
