TRIO Student Success Programs

Overview

The U.S. Department of Education’s TRIO Program is a federal outreach and student services program designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. ​Our TRIO Student Success Programs target to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students and individuals with disabilities to progress towards degree attainment.

TRIO Student Success Programs houses two TRIO grants, including a STEM and Health Sciences grant, together serving 260 eligible students on the WSU Tri-Cities campus.  The programs provide a range of services to support students on their academic journey.
