TRiO Student Support Services
Our goal is to help underrepresented, low-income, disabled, and/or first generation students to stay in college until they earn a baccalaureate degree. Participants receive tutoring, counseling, and instruction.
Student Support Services (SSS) is one of several TRiO programs and is served to students at over 900 colleges and universities nationwide. The SSS program provides opportunities for academic development, assists students with basic college requirements, and serves to support students towards the successful completion of their post secondary education. The goal of SSS is to increase the college retention and graduation rates of its participants and facilitate the process of transition from one level of higher education to the next.
Services provided by the program include:
- Instruction in college level academic success skills
- Tutorial services
- Academic, financial, or personal counseling
- Information about degree and career options
- Mentoring
- Special services for students with limited English proficiency
- Assistance in securing admission and financial aid for enrollment in graduate and professional programs
- FAFSA and scholarship assistance
- Direct financial assistance (grant aid) to current SSS participants who are receiving Federal Pell Grants
