What are TRiO Programs?
TRIO Programs exist to encourage and assist people who are traditionally under-resourced and under-represented in post-secondary education including first generation college students, students from limited income families, and/or students with disabilities. TRIO Programs provide the personal attention, planning and knowledge that help to prepare students for entry to, and completion of college.
Federally funded TRIO Programs were created by the Higher Education Act of 1965 and have been at 麻豆国产AV since 1981. 麻豆国产AV has three of eight TRiO programs that support high school and undergraduate students: Upward Bound, Student Support Services and Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program.
The Ronald E. McNair Program helps eligible undergraduates pursue graduate degrees. The program offers expanded faculty mentoring, research experience and other academic opportunities with the goal of increasing the number of Ph.D. recipients who are from underrepresented groups in graduate education. The program consists of summer and academic year activities. Students will enter the program during the spring, participate in the summer research component and, during the following academic year complete the requirements for graduate school enrollment.
