TRIO Programs
These are higher education programs funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Two-thirds of students served by these programs are low-income and would be in the first generation of their family to attend college.
Educational Talent Search-Talent Search is an early intervention/educational opportunity program. Serving students in grades 7-12, the program promotes skills and disseminates information necessary for successfully entering college and completing a degree. Emphasizing personal/career development, financial literacy, academic skills, and ACT readiness through college preparatory workshops, students are better prepared for the rigors of higher education. Campus visits, academic monitoring, and guidance in the completion of college and financial aid applications serves the individual needs of participants and their families. Summer enrichment and campus-based events are hosted as funding permits and provide opportunities for institutional collaboration and faculty involvement.
