Financial Aid

Tri-Rivers is here to help you.

Along with time, money is one of the primary barriers to returning to college. Although much financial aid information is geared for high school students and their parents, there are no age restrictions attached to most tuition assistance.

Financial aid can come in the form of scholarships, grants, loans, work-study programs and tax credits. We encourage lifelong learning and are trained to help you find the assistance you need to make it happen!

Financial aid is available to eligible students in full-time programs. (600+hours)

The first step to receiving Federal Financial Aid is to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid FASFA. You can visit the FAFSA on the Web – Federal Student Aid site at https://studentaid.gov/help/fafsa-worksheet

The Net Price Calculator uses institutional data (2018-19 school year) to provide estimated net price information to current and prospective students based on a student’s individual circumstances, please pay particular attention to notes included in the calculation and be advised that calculations are based on the largest program that we offer.
