About This School

H Councill Trenholm State Community College is a public institution located in Montgomery, Alabama with approximately 1,674 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,325 per year. The graduation rate is 16%, and the typical graduate earns $28,000 within 10 years of enrollment.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,568 per year after aid, this is one of the most affordable college options you'll find, making it a genuinely low-risk place to start or build a career. However, graduates report median earnings of only $28,000 a decade after enrollment, which is worth taking seriously — make sure the specific program you're pursuing leads to better outcomes than that average suggests. Worth considering if you're cost-conscious, staying local in the Montgomery area, or pursuing a certificate or transfer pathway rather than a terminal degree.
