TRIO Student Support Services
Ranger College participates in the grant-funded TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program, which is available to students on the main campus. This is a federal program that helps students stay in college. Its basic strategy is to enhance students' academic skills through a combination of academic advising and tutoring, accompanied by training and assistance in such things as applying for financial aid, transferring to a four-year institution, researching possible career directions, and improving study skills, time management, and financial literacy. The program strives to make the transition to college as smooth as possible for participating students.
To be eligible for TRIO SSS, a student must be enrolled full-time, show a need for academic support, and be classified as either low-income, first-generation college student, or disabled. Students interested in this program can find out more by visiting the Student Support Services office in the Student Success Center on the main campus or accessing the Student Support Services webpage.
