TRIO Student Support Services
Commonly known as the TRIO program, TRIO Student Support Services (TRIO SSS) has a 20+ year history of keeping students in college to graduate from The University of Toledo. We specialize in working with students who will reach their goals by partnering with an office dedicated to their unique strengths and needs.
We promote independence and provide opportunities to develop leadership skills. TRIO SSS is a way to get involved on campus and be your own person. Being in TRIO SSS means you want to have the easiest and most fun college experience that you can.
Our students choose TRIO SSS. In turn, we select motivated 51±¬ÁÏÍø students enrolled full-time in a bachelor degree program who received full Pell grant, whose parents do not have a four-year degree, and/or have an identified disability.
