Trine University is proud to announce its membership in the Coalition for College, a group of more than 150 higher education institutions committed to providing all students with access to a successful, affordable and transformative college experience.
“We’re excited to join with other colleges and universities committed to breaking down barriers to higher education,” said Kim Bennett, vice president for enrollment management. “The values of the Coalition for College perfectly align with those of Trine University. Both the Coalition and Trine are committed to helping college students earn degrees while keeping debt to a minimum.”
The Coalition offers unique, easy application to its member institutions through the Scoir platform, already used by many students and counselors.
Students who create an account on Scoir can search and compare college options. The information students provide to Scoir can be used to fill out applications to member colleges, simplifying the process.
“Our membership in the Coalition for College provides a range of resources for students and their supporters as they navigate the admissions process,” said Bennett.
Application to Trine University is free on Scoir and elsewhere.

Trine University’s annual Trine Day, a celebration of the university as well as an opportunity to support its mission, set records for number of donors and funds raised, bringing in more than $160,000 for scholarships, academic and athletic needs, and student organizations.
Trine University students learned about opportunities available with the Purdue Data Mine during a special presentation on April 10 in the Mark and Sarah Music/Ruoff Mortgage Esports Arena.
Trine University has received a lead gift from Dr. Rick L. James, alumnus and chair of the university’s Board of Trustees, and his wife, Dr. Vicki L. James, for a new building to house Trine’s business school.
