Mission

The mission of TRIO is to increase the number of low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities who complete a postsecondary education program.

 

Diversity Statement

TRIO and College Access Programs create and maintain educational and work environments that are welcoming, accessible, inclusive, equitable, and free from bias or harassment.

 

Vision

In the Academic Achievement Programs (AAP), our shared purpose is to encourage and assist people who are traditionally underrepresented in postsecondary education because of income, family educational background, disability, or institutional criteria, in preparation for and completion of a postsecondary degree.
