What is the cost of studying for a year at Trinity Christian College?

For the reported 2024-25 academic year, full-time undergraduate tuition at Trinity Christian College was $19,980, with $625 in required fees. The reported rates were the same for in-state and out-of-state students; they should not be confused with the amount a student pays after aid.

• Full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $20,980 for 2025-26.
• Typical room and board charges: $12,580 for the academic year.
• Reported books and supplies: $1,100.

Together, those reported charges and supplies total $34,285 before transportation, personal expenses, and other costs that may apply. This is a calculation from the listed components, not an official individualized financial-aid budget. Part-time undergraduate tuition was reported at $1,300 per credit hour, so a student taking fewer courses should request a separate estimate rather than prorate the full-time price without checking.

Aid can change the comparison substantially. In the reported aid figures, all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 56% used student loans. The average reported grant-aid amount was $21,088; grants do not generally have to be repaid, whereas loans do. Average net price also varied by family income: it was $13,587 for families earning up to $48,000 and $23,986 for families earning more than $110,000. Those are group averages, not offers to individual families.

Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Illinois state assistance, and institutional scholarships through the college's financial-aid process. Applicants should check the current FAFSA requirements, applicable state deadlines, and scholarship renewal conditions. Veterans and eligible dependents should confirm how their particular education benefit interacts with Trinity's charges and institutional aid.

What are the work-study opportunities at Trinity Christian College?

Trinity Christian College reports career counseling and planning services for undergraduates, along with interest assessment, alumni networking, employer recruitment, and individual job-placement assistance. These services support exploration and applications; they are not verified job offers.

Students seeking career-related experience should ask their department how internships fit the degree plan. An internship is not required of every Trinity student, although an individual major may require supervised fieldwork or a clinical placement. Students looking for paid campus work should distinguish an ordinary part-time position from Federal Work-Study, which requires financial-aid eligibility and a qualifying job; an award does not by itself place a student in a position.

A practical sequence is to review the financial-aid offer for Work-Study eligibility, ask where campus openings are posted, and use career counseling to prepare applications and connect coursework to internships or later employment.
