TRiO Programs

TRiO began with Upward Bound, which emerged out of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 because of the War on Poverty. In 1965, Talent Search, was created as part of the Higher Education Act. In 1968, Student Support Services was authorized by the Higher Education Amendments and became the third of these educational opportunity programs. By the late 1960's, the term "TRiO" was coined to describe these federal programs. The name still stands today.

TRiO now includes eight programs (Upward Bound, Talent Search, Student Support Services, Educational Opportunity Centers, Veterans Upward Bound, Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program, Upward Bound Math/Science, and a training program for Federal TRiO staff) that serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities to pursue and succeed in their academic endeavors from middle school to postbaccalaureate programs.
