Congress established
a series of programs to help low-income Americans enter college, graduate
and move on to participate fully in America's economic and social life.
These programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act
of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO Programs (initially just three
programs). While student financial aid programs help students overcome
financial barriers to higher education, TRIO programs help students
overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education.
TRIO Programs at
UNCP is comprised of Student Support Services
and Upward Bound.
