Tuition and Financial Assistance

Tuition

Tuition for the 2024-25 school year is $28,850. All students are provided a MacBook Air laptop during their time at Trinity. Textbooks are not included in the tuition. Lunch may be purchased through the school’s program or brought from home each day. Students coming into the 9th grade class are encouraged to attend a class retreat in the fall, which has an additional fee. 

Three payment plans are offered:
  • Tuition paid in full by the end of July preceding each school year
  • Four quarterly payments
  • Twelve monthly payments beginning in June and ending in May; administered by FACTS Tuition Management Company

From a Parent's Perspective

Merit Scholarships

One full International Baccalaureate Scholarship and additional merit scholarships are awarded to rising 9th graders. The award is based on competitive testing, school transcript and recommendations. Please see the Admission Calendar for specific test dates and deadlines. Students applying for the scholarship, along with a parent, are requested to attend one of the IB Diploma Programme Information Sessions. Campus visits are strongly encouraged for students applying for merit scholarships. Students also have the opportunity to submit a video to be included in the merit scholarship review process. Guidelines for the video submission are provided after a student submits an application and has indicated interest in the scholarship process within the application.

Financial Aid

Over 35% of Trinity students receive income-based tuition assistance each year in the form of financial aid grants. Trinity welcomes inquiries from families who require financial aid in order to consider Trinity and hopes that no child is denied a Trinity education because of financial reasons. 

To be eligible for financial aid you must complete the need-analysis application through the online Clarity™ Application.

The application typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete. The Clarity Application is also mobile-friendly so you can complete it from anywhere. You are also able to save your progress and return at any time. At the end of the application, there is a $60 fee to submit, and you can share your application with additional schools that accept the Clarity Application for no additional charge. Simply use the dropdown menu in the application to select those schools.

New students must complete their applications by February 1, 2025 if they want to receive a financial aid determination letter with the acceptance letter. All other financial aid candidates should have their applications completed by April 1, 2025. Any applications submitted after April 1 will only be considered based on the remaining available funds.

Financial aid requests will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Committee, and all information submitted and grants awarded will be held in strict confidence. Admission candidacy is not affected by a financial aid request, and financial aid decisions are made separately from enrollment decisions. The Financial Aid Committee evaluates family need and the needs of other applicants in determining the amount of financial aid to be awarded.
