The TRIO Programs Office at Bowling Green State University is comprised of several educational outreach and academic enrichment programs designed to motivate and assist students to enroll and succeed in higher education. Our target populations are first-generation college students who come from families with limited income. Participants are selected according to their potential for academic success.
TRIO programs assert our nation's commitment to providing educational opportunities for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background or economic circumstances. Congress established the programs to help Americans enter college and graduate. The programs ultimately produce skilled and educated adults, who can meet the needs of a growing economy.
