TRIO Programs
TRIO programs provide educational support for youth who want to pursue postsecondary education.
If you are in high school, look into the Talent Search and Upward Bound programs in your area. These programs will help you do well in school and prepare you for moving on to college.
If you are attending college or community college, you should look into Student Support Services. These programs can help you do well while you are at school by providing tutoring and counseling.
If you are 19 or over and want assistance in furthering your education, getting back in school, or pursuing a trade, contact your local Education Opportunity Center.
If you are in college and are interested in pursuing a career in college teaching, look into the McNair Program. This program provides funding for research projects and mentors who are already teaching.
