QUESTION 2: How much will it cost to go to Trinity Law School?

This question differs from the first in that it takes in account more than just tuition and fees but also estimates what is called your COST OF ATTENDANCE (COA).

Cost of Attendance includes :

  • TUITION and FEES are fixed costs for any given academic year.
  • BOOKS and SUPPLIES are variable costs and depend upon your unit load/track.
  • ROOM, BOARD, TRANSPORTATION, and PERSONAL EXPENSES are extreme variable costs and require your careful consideration as your ability to maintain your law school education in many ways depends on your ability to construct a sound budget.

Important: When procuring student loans you are able to borrow up to your cost of attendance.

You may calculate your own COA by visiting the following link. It will not only tell you your estimated tuition, fees, book expenses, estimated room, board, transportation, etc but also tell you how much you can borrow while attending Trinity Law School or Trinity Graduate School.  COA/Eligibility Tool
