About TRIO
In 1965, our nation asserted a commitment to providing educational opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background or economic circumstance. In support of this commitment, Congress established a series of programs to help low-income Americans enter college, graduate and move on to participate more fully in America's economic and social life. These programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO Programs (initially just three programs). Each of the TRIO Programs provides an extensive array of services designed to provide access and increased opportunity for success in post-secondary educational opportunities.
TRIO programs include:
Educational Talent Search (ETS), Educational Opportunity Center (EOC), Upward Bound (UB), Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS), Veterans Upward Bound (VUB), Student Support Services (SSS), and Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program (McNair).
