Welcome to Triton’s Financial Aid Office. Although 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. Our purpose 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 local scholarships. Most of our financial aid programs are based on each student’s financial need. Whatever your financial status, please check out our resources below and feel free to contact or visit us at the address/contact numbers listed at the bottom of the page.
Reservations for Financial Aid Information Sessions Come and join us at one of our Financial Aid Information Sessions offered monthly on Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m., Room B-204-210 or our special Saturday session at 10 a.m. in B204-210.
