TRIO

TRIO Student Support Services Program

The TRIO Student Support Services program is a federally funded program that provides academic and ancillary support to students from low-income families, first generation college students, and students with disabilities.

TRIO is a campus-wide program open to students from various disciplines. We work with over 500 undergraduate students. Our mission is to provide a supportive learning community which fosters an equal opportunity for success in higher education.

TRIO services are available to our students from freshman year until graduation. Students are encouraged to start working with us as soon as they apply for admissions to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. However, we always welcome the opportunity to work with continuing UW students throughout the academic year.
