TRIO Programs

TRIO is a set of federally-funded college opportunity programs that motivate and support students in their pursuit of a college degree. TRIO programs provide academic tutoring, personal counseling, mentoring, financial guidance, and other supports necessary for educational access and retention. 

At TRIO, we’re dedicated to helping first-generation and low-income students overcome barriers to higher education. Our programs provide personalized support, from financial guidance to academic skill-building, to ensure each student is prepared, confident, and equipped for success for college and beyond. With resources tailored to ease the transition into college life, TRIO empowers students to set and achieve meaningful academic and career goals, ultimately leading to graduation and active, responsible citizenship.
