About Us
The TRIO Programs offer a supportive environment to empower underrepresented students to take on education beyond high school and achieve academic success at the college level. TRIO federal programs includes eight programs targeted to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities to go through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs.
Southeastern Community College houses two programs: Upward Bound for high school students and Student Support Services for college students.
One step to success in college is to make a connection and feel part of a community. TRIO Student Support Services (TRIO SSS) provides support and services to help 225 students achieve and complete their degree at SCC and transfer to a 4-year college or university to complete a bachelor's degree.
