Foundation
For 100 years, TSC has opened doors for students across southern Colorado. Your gift keeps those doors open — and builds a legacy that lasts.
Our Mission
Your Gift. Your Legacy.
Trinidad State College was established in 1925 as the first public two-year institution in Colorado, serving communities across the Raton Basin and San Luis Valley. Our influence reaches far beyond those eight counties.
Many of our students are first-generation college students. They earn degrees, transfer to four-year universities, develop technical skills, or take courses to better their lives. By investing in Trinidad State, you invest in our friends, neighbors, and communities.
