TRiO Programs

TRiO History

TRIO is a set of federally-funded college opportunity programs that motivate and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds in their pursuit of a college degree. 790,000 low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities — from sixth grade through college graduation — are served by over 2,800 programs nationally. TRIO programs provide academic tutoring, personal counseling, mentoring, financial guidance, and other supports necessary for educational access and retention. TRIO programs provide direct support services for students, and relevant training for directors and staff.

More than 1,000 colleges, universities, community colleges, and agencies now offer TRIO Programs in America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands. TRIO funds are distributed to institutions through competitive grants.

COVID-19 TRIO UPDATE/INFORMATION

TRIO department will continue to be available in person and virtually throughout the Fall at WCC and CCC.

We will also offer limited in-person times for students to schedule appointments to meet with the ETS, SSS, SSS-ESL, & UB Staff. Please see the calendars below for in-person staff availability. We will be following college guidelines and requiring that students wear masks when arriving, attending, and departing from a scheduled appointment. To limit large gatherings, we, unfortunately, can not accommodate drop-in students and REQUIRE a scheduled appointment to meet with staff.
