A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:
Upward Bound provides fundamental support to high school students in their preparation for college entrance. The program provides opportunities for participants to succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits. Upward Bound serves high school students from low-income families and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor's degree. The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.
The goal of Educational Talent Search is to assure that more youth from disadvantaged backgrounds will complete high school, enroll in post-secondary institutions of their choice and then complete their postsecondary education. There is no cost to enroll in the TRiO Educational Talent Search program.
TRiO Student Support Services is a supportive academic community working together toward academic excellence. TRiO Student Support Services helps eligible first-generation, low-income students and students with disabilities as they strive to achieve their academic goals. They offer individualized academic guidance,
personalized financial, career and social support to ease transitions through college, free tutoring in a variety of courses, and career and postgraduate planning.
