Student Support Services Program (TRiO)

The Student Support Services Program is a federally funded TRIO program designed to promote the success and retention of non-traditional students. Once students are admitted, they remain participants in the program until they graduate and/or transfer to a four-year college or university. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, TRIO programs are educational opportunity outreach programs designed to motivate and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
