About the Program

"The Federal TRIO Programs (TRIO) are outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds."

TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) is a program funded by the U.S. Department of Education.  TRIO SSS aims to increase college success rates with the ultimate goal being the completion of a post-secondary education (obtaining Bachelor's degree at MDC or by transferring to another four year institution).  With early intervention strategies and additional services in areas such as academic advising and mentorship, those that have been accepted into the program, will be better able to develop their short and long term goals. SSS also offers educational and cultural enrichment activities, professional development workshops, internships, service learning, and tutoring
