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

For 2024-25, Trocaire College reported the same full-time undergraduate tuition for in-state and out-of-state students: $20,240, plus $400 in required fees. Published tuition and fees are not the same as a student's complete annual cost or final bill after aid.

  • 2024-25 full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees: $20,640 combined.
  • 2024-25 reported part-time undergraduate tuition: $850 per credit hour, before applicable fees.
  • Reported books and supplies allowance: $2,000; actual spending depends on courses and materials.

Students also need to budget for housing, food, transportation, and personal expenses. Program-specific items such as uniforms, equipment, testing, background checks, and clinical travel may matter as well. Because Trocaire does not provide college-operated undergraduate housing, a student's living costs will depend on their individual arrangement. These expenses should be checked against the college's current cost-of-attendance estimate rather than added to tuition as if every student incurs the same amount.

Net price describes cost after grant or scholarship aid, not after loans. Reported average net prices differ substantially by family income; for students from families earning $0-$48,000, the figure is $13,543, while for those from families earning more than $110,000, it is $28,534. Those are group averages, not individual aid offers.

In the 2024-25 aid reporting, 98% of students received financial aid and 71% had student loans. Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, New York State assistance, institutional scholarships, and applicable military or veterans' education benefits. Completing the FAFSA and reviewing Trocaire's current scholarship and state-aid requirements are separate steps from comparing the published price. The high borrowing share makes the loan amount in an individual aid offer worth particular attention.

What are the work-study opportunities at Trocaire College?

Trocaire College students can seek employment while enrolled, but a job, Federal Work-Study award, internship, and financial-aid grant are different things. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid package, provides an opportunity to earn wages through qualifying work; it does not generally reduce the tuition bill in advance or guarantee a position.

Students seeking campus employment should ask the financial aid office how Work-Study eligibility is determined and where openings are posted. For other part-time jobs, they should consider how work hours fit classes, labs, and clinical placements. An internship may provide experience or academic credit, but Trocaire does not report requiring an internship of every student.

The college's reported career services include individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, a job bank, employer referrals, job fairs, on-campus recruitment, and interview opportunities. These are job-search resources, not verified promises of employment. Students in licensed fields should also ask their program which career services address their specific occupation.
