At Student Support Services (SSS) TRiO we are committed to providing services in an atmosphere where each student thrives and can obtain the necessary skills to reach their personal and academic goals.

PURPOSE
The purpose of the Program is to increase the number of disadvantaged low-income college students, first-
generation college students and college students with disabilities in the United States who successfully

requirements, and serves to motivate students toward the successful completion of their postsecondary

transfer from two-year to four-year colleges and foster an institutional climate supportive of their
successes.
