The TRiO Program was founded in 1964 as a part of Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. The program has helped thousands of students and families break the cycle of poverty by providing first-generation, low-income students and students with disabilities with access to higher education.
We are asking the Obama Administration to continue supporting the TRiO Programs by requesting sufficient funding. The continued support of the TRiO Programs will allow all individuals who lack the skills to achieve the necessary skills for the 21st century.
