Upward Bound - What is TRIO?
In the early years, Trio Programs
represented three programs, Upward Bound, Talent Search, and Student Support
Services, but since has grown to represent more than eight federally funded
educational opportunity programs. Trio programs are designed to help students
overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education. They
provide information, counseling, academic instruction, tutoring, assistance
in applying for financial aid, encouragement and support. Trio programs
help over 500,000 low-income and first-generation college students each
year. There are over 1,677 Trio programs in operation nationwide (573 Upward
Bound Bound programs) at more than 800 public and private colleges and
universities, and at 80 community agencies.
