Trinity College
of Florida
Private College in Trinity, FL. Median 10-year earnings $32,465.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $32,465, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. Only 0% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $23,250, neither a bargain nor a burden.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
- ! Debt-to-income ratio 0.72 — elevated (above 0.60)
Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 92% of applicants are accepted. The applicant pool is small at 37, which makes year-over-year comparisons unreliable. Yield is high — 50% of admitted students go on to enroll, well above the typical rate.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |

Completion is the problem here: 0% graduate within six years. 28% first-year retention is low enough to be the defining risk of enrolling here. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. With 38% transferring out, this functions substantially as a stepping stone. At 12:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 187 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Net price lands at $15,529 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. The income table below is the number that matters — $16,224 at $0–30k versus $24,304 at $110k+. Grant aid is widespread — 86% of students receive it, averaging $8,461. 59% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $16,224 |
| $30–48k | $21,304 |
| $48–75k | $21,584 |
| $75–110k | $22,854 |
| $110k+ | $24,304 |
