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. Low-income, first-generation students and
students with disabilities — from sixth grade through college graduation — are served 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.
