TRIO programs provide educational opportunities for income eligible, first-generation, and individuals with a disability. Our nation has asserted a commitment to providing educational
opportunities for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background, or economic circumstance. In support of this commitment, Congress established a series of programs to help
income eligible Americans enter college, graduate, and move on to participate more fully in America’s economic and social lif e. These programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher
Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO programs. While student financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, TRIO programs
help students overcome class, social, and cultural barriers to higher education.
