TRIO Student Support Services

Student Support Services

Student Support Services is a federally funded program designed to help students be successful in their educational career.The program helps students with their academic development, basic college requirements, test taking skills, study skills, time management skills, note-taking skills, and test anxiety. We work with the students to prepare a Student Success Plan (SSP) which gathers information about their school, life, educational goals, and career goals. The Student Support Services program is funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
