Trombones come in many sizes.
However, the common tenor, Bb (B-flat) Trombone is -- if you were to stretch the tubing out in a straight line -- nine feet long. This is what gives the instrument its fundamental pitch of Bb. By comparison, a Bb Trumpet, which is pitched an octave higher than the trombone, is exactly half the length of its larger cousin: 4½ feet long.
There are trombones larger and smaller than this common Bb instrument. The contrabass trombone is typically pitched an octave below the tenor trombone. Its overall length would be 18 feet (doubled, of course). The soprano trombone (or slide trumpet) is the same length of the standard Bb trumpet, mentioned above.

Do all tenor trombones have triggers?
No. Your basic trombone is a tenor trombone, it's what everyone just calls a trombone. However, triggers can be added to make playing fast rhythms on a trombone easier. Triggers are also used to make it possible to reach lower notes that are difficult to play on a standard tenor trombone.
Is the trombone a scholarship instrument?
I would not consider the regular "tenor trombone" to be a scholarship instrument. However, instruments such as the alto and bass trombone are more likely choices as "scholarship instruments.". If you play tenor now, bass wouldn't be too difficult to learn. Euphonium is an alternative that is more like a tenor trombone.
