To receive my early financial aid estimate, I understand I must meet the following requirements:

Submit the Early Financial Aid Estimate Request, including your high school transcript through 11th grade and your SAT or ACT test score information, which will be used to determine potential merit scholarship. If you intend to apply without test scores for consideration (test optional), simply indicate this choice on the form below.

Financial aid applications are tax year specific. Tax year 2023 will be requested as part of your 2025-26 aid applications (typically available October 1).

Students requesting an early financial aid estimate prior to October 1:

Complete the currently available application (Fall 2024/Spring 2025) with 2023 IRS tax figures. To be clear, the application will ask for 2022 IRS tax information, but for the purpose of this estimate, it should be completed with 2023 IRS tax information.

Students requesting an early financial aid estimate on or after October 1:

Complete the Fall 2025/Spring 2026 application with IRS tax information as requested on the form (2023).

All students who apply for need-based aid will be required to complete both the Fall 2025/Spring 2026 CSS Profile and the 2025-26 Free Appllication for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to receive a confirmed 2025-26 financial aid offer.

I confirm my interest in an early financial aid award to determine if Early Decision is the best decision deadline for me.

Yes

Trinity University established a test-optional policy for undergraduate applicants beginning with Fall 2021 applicants and has extended this policy through to applicants for Fall 2025 and Fall 2026.

Applicants for first-year admission to the University will not be required to submit SAT or ACT test results to the Office of Admissions.

Trinity will continue to review and consider test scores for those applicants who want to submit them, but any applicant can also choose to be evaluated only on high school grades, curriculum rigor, essays, recommendation letters, achievements, interviews, and contributions to their school and community.

When submitting your application, the selection is made to apply test optional or to apply with test scores for consideration. Each applicant has up to the application deadline selected to alter this choice.

Early Decision 1 and Early Action applicants can submit a change to the test optional choice up to November 1.
Early Decision 2 and Regular Decision applicants can submit a change to the test optional choice up to February 1.

Do you intend to apply to Trinity University with test scores?
