TRIO Student Support Services

The TRiO Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally funded program that helps students navigate their journey as a first-time in college student to stay on track for graduation or transfer to a university.

Active TRiO participants also have an opportunity to apply for an annual $1000 Scholarship.

My [TRiO] advisor has been a huge driving factor in my success. Antonio has never given up on me, even after I took a step back from learning. He fought to get me back in the program. He has been my biggest supporter here at ACC and has kept me on track academically, financially, and made sure to check on my mental health. –Joseph G.
