The Federal TRIO Programs (TRIO) are Federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for qualified individuals from traditionally disadvantaged backgrounds in order to motivate and prepare them for postsecondary educational study. TRIO includes eight programs targeted to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students, individuals with disabilities, and students from underserved geographic areas in their pursuit of post-baccalaureate study.
