Please note: The U.S. Department of Education requires all TRiO Student Support Service Programs to dually enroll 2/3 of its 160 program participants. (Dually enrolled means that a student meets the low-income and first-generation criteria or has a documented disability.) In addition, 1/3 of the program participants that qualify with a disability must also meet the low-income guidelines.
