Through their provision of resources (labs, tutors, courses, counseling, etc.), TRIO programs seek to ease a student’s transition into collegiate life, and aid in increasing retention among the students served by the program.

TRIO Programs address and assist with social, cultural, and economic disadvantages in higher education. The programs have experienced great success amongst individuals from traditionally underserved communities. Since their inception in 1964, TRIO Programs have offered support and resources for students who utilize them.
