The Financial Aid Shopping Sheet serves as a consumer tool that participating institutions will use to notify students about their financial aid package.

To receive your customized Shopping Sheet, please follow the instructions outlined here. If you are a current student, login to the TLC Portal and click on the Financial Aid section.
College Navigator
College Navigator is an interactive website that gives students the opportunity to compare institutions based on tuition, financial aid options, student data, programs and more.
“Paying for College”
Students considering how to pay for college can visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s “Paying for College” Website. This site serves as an informative source to assist students in understanding financial options, comparing financial aid plans, and learning how to repay student debt.
The College Scorecard
The College Scorecard designed by the U.S. Department of Education is an interactive consumer tool that assists prospective students and their families in making informed decisions about which college to attend. This tool evaluates institution features such as costs, graduation rate, loan default rate, median borrowing, and employment.
Note that the information included in the scorecard may not apply to all students. Also note that the 6-year graduation rate published by the Department of Education in the College Scorecard is not accurate. Trident University International has submitted accurate graduation data on first-time, full-time students to the Department of Education and expects the College Scorecard to be updated accordingly.
Trident’s Ph.D. program allowed me to test my desire and determination to be complete the highest level of academia as a student. The process tested my organization skills, mindset, and support system to finish this great journey. These factors are key ingredients toward the achievement of any goals that person will undertake. Second, the program has provided me the necessary tools to conduct research and publish periodicals as I transition into a career as a professor at a research university.Joseph Stroud, Ph.D. in Business Administration - Trident Class of '15

Online learning made me resilient and the acquired skills together with a degree in informatics from the University of Maryland enabled the planning, development, and implementation of the first Howard University Division of Nursing RN-to-BSN track to which I was the Coordinator from 2011–2016.Dr. Priscilla Okunji, Ph.D. in Health Sciences - Trident Class of '10

Trident served me well…No, Trident served me VERY well. While going through the doctoral program, I could not have made this bold statement with sheer confidence. However, when I look back over my experience at Trident and compare the knowledge, program content and value, compared to others who have received doctoral degrees from other institutions, I can honestly say that I selected the best institution for me that fully met my needs and expectations. This has made me a better administrator and higher education leader where I can serve students, staff and stakeholders – building, inspiring and modeling excellence, which is what I gleaned from my time with Trident…on my road to excellence! Thank you Trident!Monica Jackson, Ph.D. in Educational Leadership - Trident Class of '12
