The TRiO/Student Support Services program (SSS) is an academic support/resource entity that enhances students as they matriculate towards their degree.
Student Support Services (SSS) is a program that offers services aimed at increasing the academic potential of SSS participants and are provided at no cost to eligible students. The goal of the program is to increase retention and graduation rates of college students who demonstrate academic need and who are either first-generation, and/or low income, and/or have a documented disability. This goal is based upon the belief that all students, regardless of age, family background, learning style, or presence of a disability, should have equal opportunity to reach their full personal, academic, and career potential.
The mission of TRIO and Other Educational Opportunity (TRIO and OEO) Programs is to encourage and assist people who are traditionally under-represented in post-secondary education because of income, family educational background, disability, or other relevant federal, state, provincial or institutional criteria, in the preparation for, entry to, and completion of a post-secondary education.
