Hello, and welcome to this dramatically different new year.
As many of you already know, TRIO Student Success at The Evergreen State College is a federally funded program that provides direct support services for first generation, low-income, and/or students with documented disabilities to successfully attain their bachelor’s degrees.
Students who participate in the TRiO Student Success Services program have access to numerous tools and resources intended to help them stay in school and earn a college degree. Experienced and knowledgeable staff work individually with each student, identifying and providing those resources which will be of greatest value.
Staff and Faculty at Evergreen are such great partners in connecting students to TRiO. Below you will find a number of opportunities for you to refer students and/or learn more about our work.
TRiO Applications are now open:
Applications can be found here.
TRiO Student Success has recently been awarded a second grant that will allow us to serve an additional 100 students with documented disabilities. In the next couple months we will begin to scale up the program and begin taking additional applications.
If you are working with a student and are unsure if they are eligible for TRiO, please encourage them to check out the Apply and FAQ section of our TRiO Student Success webpage.
TRiO 2 Credit Student Success Course Is Accepting Students Through Week 2:
Students can now register for the 2 Credit Fall TRiO Student Success Course. TRiO’s course is held every Wednesday from 1:30-3:30pm. The purpose of this TRiO Student Success Class is to provide eligible students with the academic supports, tools, and resources that promote a successful transition into Evergreen.
This course will be most helpful for students who are new to the college and may be particularly helpful for students who are transferring in and may not have access to the FYE curriculum in their programs.
Students do not have to be registered in TRiO to participate in the course, but do need to be eligible (first generation, low income and/or have a documented disability).
If you know of a student who may benefit from this course, please encourage them to contact trio@evergreen.edu so that we may get them registered.
