Trinity Valley Community College

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

TVCC's published charges need to be read as tuition plus

• In-state tuition: $1,170 for the academic year.
• In-state required fees: $3,750 for the academic year.
• Out-of-state tuition: $4,500 for the academic year.
• Out-of-state required fees: $1,470 for the academic year.

On those reported figures, tuition and required fees total $4,920 for the in-state category and $5,190 for the out-of-state category. The different fee amounts make it particularly important to check a current, itemized bill rather than compare tuition alone. District residency, enrollment intensity, course-specific charges, and program requirements may change an individual student's price.

Books and supplies were reported at a median of $976, and the reported median annual room-and-board charge was $6,467. Those figures are separate from tuition and fees; transportation and personal expenses can add substantially to a commuter's budget. They should not be treated as one universal annual bill, especially because housing choices vary.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays. The reported average net price for students from families earning $48,000 or less was $3,182; for the $48,001-$75,000 band, it was $5,186. Net price is an average after applicable aid, not a quote for an individual applicant.

What are the work-study opportunities at Trinity Valley Community College?

Eligible TVCC students may be able to pursue Federal Work-Study, but an aid award or eligibility determination is not itself a job offer. Work-Study is a need-based federal aid program in which students earn wages for hours worked; ordinary part-time jobs do not require Work-Study eligibility.

Students interested in Work-Study should submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), review their aid information, and ask the financial-aid office how available positions are posted and filled. Job hours must fit both the employer's needs and the student's classes.

TVCC also reports career support such as individual career planning, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, job listings, and job fairs. These services can help with a job search, but participation is different from receiving an internship, placement, or employment offer.
