What is TRIO SSS?
TRIO Student Support Services (TRIO SSS) is a federally funded program designed to provide a community of support to students who have limited income, are first-generation college students, and/or have a documented disability. Our mission is to create a trusting community of hope that supports TRIO scholars to realize their potential as they achieve their goals for the future.
We provide wraparound services that promote academic, personal and professional growth—as well as assistance navigating financial aid and financial literacy.
TRIO SSS provides a positive environment where SSS scholars know that their voice, experiences and dreams will be cultivated and inspired to grow.
