Fall 2026 application open at Trine University

June 23, 2025

Trine University has opened its application for students wishing to enroll as undergraduates at its Angola campus for the fall 2026 semester.

The application is available at trine.link/apply26.

Trine University remains test optional for admission, meaning ACT and SAT scores are not required for traditional undergraduate students seeking admission to Trine.

“For many students, particularly those from under-resourced schools or communities affected by testing access, standardized scores don’t tell the full story,” said Kim Bennett, vice president for enrollment management. “We believe a student’s potential is much more than a test score. Our admission team evaluates applicants based on the complete picture, including academic performance, course rigor, personal achievements and community involvement.”

Applicants who are able to take the ACT or SAT may submit scores if they choose, but those scores will be considered as only part of their overall academic record.

Trine is a rolling admission school, but students who apply early are able to find out more quickly which scholarships, grants and other financial aid they qualify for.

Trine continues to keep a quality, private education affordable for deserving students. More than 99% of Trine students receive some type of financial aid, with the average student receiving a total package of more than $38,000 each year.

Students who apply early and submit their enrollment fee also are more likely to get a room in the residence hall of their choice.

There is no cost to apply to Trine, and the university also accepts the convenient Common App. Students who apply to Trine will typically receive an admission decision within two to three weeks once the review process begins in August.
