Illinois Scholars do not need to arrange for student loans or hold a campus job during the academic year and thus have more time to study and to take advantage of the extensive opportunities for internships, community service, and cultural exploration provided by Trinity's location in the capital city of Hartford. The best thing about Trinity is that it's small enough so that you can get involved in a variety of activities. Trinity offers you the ability to balance academics, athletics, extracurriculars and social activities. I've been involved in sports, a fraternity, and the Writing Center, and I've been a tour guide on campus. Trinity's rigorous curriculum presents a broad array of interdisciplinary studies, exceptional offerings in science and engineering, and abundant opportunities for collaborative research with a faculty of devoted teacher-scholars.
Classes are small, too.
On average, class size is 21 students, and classes of five to fifteen students are common. The Illinois Scholarship program has provided me with a wonderful opportunity. I knew that the kind of education I wanted was at a small liberal arts college, but my family would not have been able to send me here. Thanks to the Illinois Scholarship program, I'm coming out of college debt-free. Jenica Parker Rogers, Rockford, Illinois Trinity professors are both challenging and supportive.
