First established on this campus in 1982, TRiO Pre-College

Programs such as Upward Bound, Talent Search, Veterans

Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math & Science have

contributed to the University's efforts in serving and

maintaining its connection to the local community and its

students.

While student financial aid programs help students to overcome financial

barriers to access higher education, the TRiO programs help students overcome

class, social and cultural barriers.
