The Federal TRiO
Programs are educational opportunity outreach programs
designed to motivate and support students from disadvantaged
backgrounds.
TRiO includes six outreach and support programs
targeted to serve and assist
low-income, first-generation
college students, and students with disabilities to
progress
through the academic pipeline from middle school to post
baccalaureate
programs. TRiO also includes a training
program for directors and staff of TRIO
projects and a
dissemination partnership program to encourage the
replication or
adaptation of successful practices of TRIO
projects at institutions and agencies
that do not have TRiO
grants.
