TRIO Student Support Services
TRIO HELPS DREAMS COME TRUE
“Being in the TRIO program as a first generation student helped me grow more than I could have ever imagined. With the help of study groups and conferences, I was able to maintain a grade point average that allowed me to graduate with honors. TRIO also guided me to transition to the next phase in my life of obtaining my bachelor’s degree through Lakeland University. Without TRIO, I am not sure I would have been able to maintain school/life balance and be successful. TRIO has helped me fulfill my dreams of getting a college degree!”
