Trio/SSS Fall EventsTransitions_October_2008Have you had your second mandatory contact? SANDY FERNANDEZ
Dear Colleague: I am pleased to announce the launch of an exciting, innovative new resource www.college.gov. College.gov was designed by students for students and features first person accounts of students who overcome challenges to going to college such as a peer pressure, lack of family support, and financial barriers. It provides relevant, comprehensive information about why to go, how to go, and how to pay for college or other postsecondary education programs. Young people who may not have considered higher education a viable option will be engaged , informed, and inspired to create their own “roadmap” to college. To support this site, you can:
Please join with us in ensuring all students learn about this resource. What is TRiO? Our nation has asserted a commitment to providing educational opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background or economic circumstance. In support of this commitment, Congress established a series of programs to help low-income Americans enter college, graduate and move on to participate more fully in America's economic and social life. These Programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO Programs (initially just three programs: Talent Search, Upward Bound, and Student Support Services). While student financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, TRIO programs help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education.
