What Is TRIO?

Transcription

What is TRIO?Our na on has asserted a commitment to providing educa onalopportunity for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background oreconomic circumstance. In support of this commitment, Congressestablished a series of programs to help low‐income Americans entercollege, graduate and move on to par cipate more fully in America’seconomic and social life. These programs are funded under Title IV ofthe Higher Educa on Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIOPrograms, referencing the fact that there were ini ally only threeprograms ‐ Upward Bound, Talent Search and Student SupportServices.While student financial aid programs help students overcome financialbarriers to higher educa on, TRIO programs help students overcomeclass, social and cultural barriers to higher educa on. As mandated byCongress, two‐thirds of the students served must come from familieswith limited incomes, where neither parent graduated from college.TRIO funds are distributed to ins tu ons through compe ve grants.The Higher Educa on Act of 2008 broadened the defini on of who iseligible for TRIO services to include homeless youth, those in fostercare, English as Second Language learners, students with disabili es,and other disconnected students.Na onal TRIO Programs and Who They ServeTalent Search: Grades 6‐12 and Adults Up to Age 27Upward Bound: Grades 9‐12Upward Bound Math/Science: Grades 9‐12Upward Bound Veterans: Preparing & transi oning to collegeStudent Support Services: Undergraduate StudentsRonald E.

What is TRIO?The Federal TRIO Programs (TRIO ) are outreach and student servicesprograms designed to iden fy and provide services for individuals fromdisadvantaged backgrounds. TRIO includes eight programs targeted toserve and assist low‐income individuals, first genera on collegestudents, and individuals with disabili es to progress through theacademic pipeline from middle school to post baccalaureate programs.TRIO also includes a training program for directors and staff of TRIOprojects.The current administra on has commi ed to have the highestpropor on of students gradua ng from college in the world by 2020.Part of that effort includes offering addi onal financial aid throughprograms like the Pell Grant. While student financial aid programs helpstudents overcome financial barriers in higher educa on, TRIOprograms provide the mentoring and advising support needed to helpstudents overcome academic, class, social and cultural barriers. TRIOservices ensure that educa onal opportunity and the American dreamremain available for all students in an increasingly compe ve globaleconomy and world.Na onal TRIO Sta s csFY 2015 Funding 834,095,876Students Served 787,449Total # of projects 2834Oregon TRIO SummaryStudents served 2015‐2016 11,550Total # of projects 44Total federal Funding 11,636,0238367 students (75%) are LIFG1846 Two‐Year SSS students in 13 projects1421 Four‐Year SSS students in 8 projects6274 ETS students in 11 projects581 UB students in 8 projects82 McNair students in 3 projects1074 EOC students in 1 projectInforma on taken from www.coenet.us and www.ed.gov

I worked as a hairdresser for 20 years. When I moved toWarrenton, OR, I registered at CCC andmet a person who let me know aboutthe TRIO program. I filled out anapplica on and was accepted. Theprogram benefited me in so manyways: how to use Word, mee ng otherstudents, space to work, homeworkadvice, monthly chats to stay on track,scheduling classes and so much more.With counseling, TRIO taught me that Ihad life experiences that I could use inmy current path. Without the help andencouragement of the TRIO program, Iwould not have graduated in a melyfashion, nor would I have become theowner of WineKra , a Pacific Northwest wine bar.

Anuthi Perera ‐ PCC—Willlow Creek Talent Search SeniorOne of my friends referred me to the TRIO Tal‐ent Search Program. I come from a low‐incomebackground and will be the first to go to college.Recently, I was going through a difficult situa onin my family. My dad was sick and it was thebiggest barrier I had come across. I did not knowif I was going to go to college or how. TRIO hasprovided me with the knowledge I need to pur‐sue college, career and my life goals. It has mademy life so much easier by providing me with the opportunity to takedual‐credit courses for free, saving me a ton of money. I have taken advantage of ascholarship class, a career class and am currently taking Chicano/La no studies. Theprogram has also helped me in finding scholarships, filling out FAFSA and in applyingfor colleges.Margaret W. Gichachi, 2015 Tigard High School Graduate, Upward BoundTwo months before the end of my junior year mymother told me that we would be moving. At first, I thought thatshe just said that to scare me. Only when our stuff was inthe car did I believed her. When I first got to Tuala n, I wasangry, I did not want to be there and I was sure that nobodyelse wanted me there. I barely a ended classes. I had onceagain shut out the world. I said nothing and nobody expectedme to say anything. I was hurt, broken and confused.I remember that day in health class when I got the note to go toChris’s office. Convinced I was in trouble, I walked intrembling. I was given the Upward Bound paperwork to completeand I did. I started going in two days a week a er school fortutoring , and I would go at lunch to get extra help. I s ll hated school, I s ll had toforce myself to get there, but on those two days I would look forward to tutoringwith Upward Bound. It was Chris, the director, who told me I should apply for theAct VI Scholarship. I was reluctant; my GPA had dropped from a 3.7 to a 3.0 and I didnot feel that I was qualified. He insisted I apply. I remember when I found out I hadmade it to the next phase. Most people would call their parents; I ran to Chris’soffice.I am now in college, with a full ride scholarship, and all this would not be possible ifit wasn’t for the folks at Upward Bound. Chris insisted that I apply, he then helpedme fill out the applica on, wrote me a le er of recommenda on and helped me findthe second person to write me a recommenda on. I will forever be thankful to ChrisMcIsacc and Upward Bound. UB was more than just extra help. For me, they weremy safe haven. In a world where nobody cared to hear me out, they listened andheard me.
