TRIO Student Support Services
Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally-funded TRIO program that provides opportunities for academic development, assists scholars in meeting basic college requirements, and serves to motivate scholars towards the successful completion of their post-secondary education. Although each program is different, we all have the same purpose: to retain and graduate the scholars we serve.
This grant has been 100% federally funded by the United States Department of Education to serve 160 scholars annually in the amount of $275,105 per year for a period of five years.
The program has helped me keep on track not only academically but emotionally as well. The resources provided has allowed me to seek opportunities that I normally would not have dared to "try". Overall, TRIO has been life changing. They provide a place for me to really be a Coug. Without them, my transfer to WSU would not have gone as smoothly as it did.
