What is TRiO?

TRiO is Educational Opportunity for Low-Income and Disabled Americans.

Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) located throughout the country primarily serves displaced or underemployed workers from families with incomes under $24,000.  These Centers help people to choose a college and a suitable financial aid program.  There are 138 Educational Opportunity Centers in America serving 210,000 individuals.

Educational Talent Search (ETS) serves young people in grades six through 12.  In addition to counseling, participants receive information about college admissions requirements, scholarships and various student financial aid programs.  The early intervention program helps people from families with incomes under $24,000 (where neither parent graduated from college) to better understand their educational opportunities and options.  Over 386,000 students are enrolled in 471 Talent Search TRiO Programs.
