What is TRiO?

The TRiO (SSS) Program is a grant funded, U.S. Department of Education TRIO program.

The mission of TRiO is to empower students to achieve their personal, career, and educational goals and thrive in the college environment.

The TRiO program will enrich the lives of participants who access support, use resources, and engage with their learning community.

TRiO continually assesses support services and academic performance to embrace diversity, encourage a healthy environment, and enhance the programs and services we offer to promote student success.

Each year, the SSSP at the Del Norte campus of College of the Redwoods is committed to increasing the retention, graduation and transfer rates of 200 low-income, first generation college students who have academic need.
