Financial Aid

At Triton College, we take pride in offering an affordable education. While Triton's tuition costs are less than those of most major colleges and universities, individuals and families on a tight budget may still have difficulty meeting their yearly expenses. The purpose of financial aid is to help students and their families bridge the gap between their own resources and the cost of attending Triton College.

Financial assistance may be available to students who are enrolled at Triton for as little as one credit hour. This assistance may be in the form of grants, loans, work on campus or various scholarships. Most of our financial aid programs are based on each student's financial need. Whatever your financial status, we can assist you in affording college.

Financial Aid Basics

经济援助帮助学生和他们的家庭支付大学费用. This financial assistance covers educational expenses including tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and transportation. There are several types of financial aid, including grants and scholarships, work study and loans. Financial aid awards may include a combination of the various types of aid.

经济援助有两种基本类型: Gift aid and Self-help aid.

  • 礼品援助包括联邦补助金, state grants, 奖学金和其他福利(如退伍军人福利). 这种类型的援助是免费的,不需要偿还.
  • 自助援助包括学生贷款或勤工俭学. 这种类型的援助必须偿还或争取.

To be eligible for financial aid (gift aid) you will need to meet these requirements:

  • U.S. 公民身份或合格的非公民身份
  • 伊利诺伊州居留权只适用于州政府补助(如果您是受抚养人), the parent whose information is used must be an Illinois resident)
  • 经济需要证明
  • Maintenance of satisfactory academic progress as determined by your college
  • No default status on any student loan, no refund owed on any state or federal grant
  • 没有学士学位(你仍然可以申请联邦贷款)
  • Compliance with Federal Selective Service registration requirements

如何申请经济资助

To apply for Financial Aid you must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at FAFSA.gov.

根据您在FAFSA上输入的财务信息, the government uses a formula to decide how much you can pay for college out of pocket. 这个数字就是你的预期家庭贡献,简称EFC. Triton will subtract your EFC from the school's annual cost of attendance (which includes tuition, living expenses, books, 供应和运输)来确定你的财务需求.

如果你有资格获得基于需求的经济援助, you will be offered grants to cover some or all of your financial need.

If you do not receive enough gift aid to cover your cost of attendance, 或者你根本没有资格获得任何援助, you will be given the opportunity to apply for a student loan and/or Triton's work study program.
