TRIO students can access community resources such as housing, transportation, health care or fuel assistance. TRIO counselors accompany students on transfer trips and assist students with the transfer process. Students can access local scholarship opportunities and receive help with filling out applications. Students also are encouraged to participate in campus and TRIO leadership opportunities.
