If verification documents are requested from you, be sure to return all your paperwork to the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible.Your financial aid packet will include an award letter with grants, scholarships and/or loans for which you are eligible.

REMAINING EXPENSES:
You will receive a billing statement with any balance remaining after your financial aid is applied. Payments can be made in installments in accordance with Trinity's Deferred Payment Plan, or students may apply for private student loans to cover a remaining balance.
