Too many promising, even brilliant students grow up in low-income surroundings with little family wealth to help smooth their paths. Helping them is a significant investment; the United States needs students of every background who are academically prepared and motivated to achieve success to remain competitive with other nations. But many challenges remain. And like it or not, family wealth makes all the difference. Lack of money is one reason why low-income students are being left behind. Once enrolled, low-income students earn bachelor&#8217;s degrees at a rate that is less than half of their high-income peers \u2014 21% compared with 45%. America&#8217;s highest and lowest-income students may have similar talents and potential, but there is a wide gap between the groups in college attendance. Few low-income students achieve a college degree, no matter how talented they are. That is why TRIO is so essential. TRIO programs step in the gap for many individuals, but many more are not served as budget dollars are limited. \r\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"offset-media-text__media wow column-2 with-accordion\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"offset-media-text__image to-square bg-img gradient-fill\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/coenet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Rectangle-2147-1.png)\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"patterns-bg color-theme__bg align-bottom patterns-dots-wide\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group trio-content-pattern acf-block-preview alignfull is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading kicker\">how COE supports TRIO PROGRAMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">We work hard on Capitol Hill to expand the number of students served by TRIO and with the institutions and agencies sponsoring TRIO programs to ensure they\u2019re as innovative and effective as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Council offers training and services to student support staff at more than 1,000 colleges, universities, and agencies to help low-income students enter college and graduate. Our members and their efforts make all the difference to hundreds of thousands of students every single year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Lyndon Baines Johnson never forgot his experience as a young man teaching impoverished children in a Texas elementary school. It may have been a motivation behind including the <strong>Upward Bound <\/strong>program in the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act, part of his War on Poverty. It was undoubtedly behind signing the 1965 Higher Education Act that included the <strong>Talent Search <\/strong>program. For the first time, the federal government would help low-income students reach for educational equity and enter college. In addition to these two programs, in 1968, <strong>Student Support Services<\/strong> was rolled out as part of the Higher Education Amendments. Together, the three programs became known as \u201cTRIO\u201d but grew to include four more student programs that followed over the next few decades: <strong>Veterans Upward Bound, Educational Opportunity Centers, the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Program, <\/strong>and <strong>Upward Bound Math\/Science<\/strong>. In 1976 the federal government added, as part of TRIO, a Training Program for Federal TRIO programs for professional staff. In the 1970s, student support professionals who staffed these programs began to form associations to pool training and ideas on how best to serve the students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than four decades later, COE\u2019s membership includes more than 1,000 colleges and agencies. The Council offers webinars, courses, and other services to its members, all in the cause of helping low-income students enter college and graduate. More than a million low-income students and students with disabilities receive college access and retention services through our member colleges and agencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COE has, from the beginning, advocated for more federal money for TRIO programs. COE staff, member colleges, and students themselves visit Capitol Hill every year to testify to the effectiveness of TRIO programs. They point out that the budget for TRIO covers less than 5 percent of eligible students and ask for increases to the TRIO budget. Progress has been slow but steady. Just as important, COE efforts and proven results from TRIO programs have inspired bipartisan support in Congress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through it all, COE has helped grow the federal budget for TRIO from less than $200 million in 1985 to $1.2&nbsp;billion today, enough to&nbsp;serve approximately 870,000&nbsp;students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading kicker columns-header\"

More than 202,000 students are now being served by 1,069 Student Support Service programs at colleges and universities nationwide. Recent studies of Student Support Services found that program participation resulted in statistically significant higher student retention and transfer rates, improved grade point averages, and credit accumulation. Program participants also bested their similarly situated peers in degree completion at two-year colleges (41% vs. 28%) and four-year colleges (48% vs. 40%).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\t<article class=\"featured-post post-card column-2 fade-to-left\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__image\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image to-square bg-img\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t style=\"background-image: url(' https:\/\/coenet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Pursuit-of-HappineSSS-Student-Support-Services-TRIO-Anniversary-1024x571-1-300x167.jpeg ')\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/50-years-of-student-support-services-pursuit-of-happinesss\/\" class=\"link-reset link-overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n                        <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Click to view the page: 50 Years of Student Support Services: Pursuit of HappineSSS<\/span>\r\n                    <\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker\"><span class=\"label\">Featured <\/span>Blog<\/p>\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/50-years-of-student-support-services-pursuit-of-happinesss\/\" target=\"_self\">50 Years of Student Support Services: Pursuit of HappineSSS<\/a><\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<section class=\"related-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"row list-unstyled\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card column-3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker\">News &#038; Impact<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/press-release\/the-council-for-opportunity-in-education-launches-inaugural-award-for-institutional-effectiveness-to-scale-trio-student-support-services-practices-campus-wide\/\" target=\"_self\">The Council for Opportunity in Education Launches Inaugural Award for Institutional Effectiveness to Scale TRIO Student Support Services Practices Campus-Wide<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card column-3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker\">Pages<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/coe-award-for-institutional-effectiveness\/\" target=\"_self\">COE Award for Institutional Effectiveness<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card column-3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker\">Conferences &#038; Events<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-small\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/conferences-events\/fuel-the-finish-strategic-and-compliant-ways-to-use-your-remaining-sss-funds\/\" target=\"_self\">Fuel the Finish: Strategic and Compliant Ways to Use Your Remaining SSS Funds<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><div aria-labelledby=\"tab-educational-opportunity-centers\" class=\"tab-panel\"  id=\"educational-opportunity-centers\" role=\"tabpanel\"><p class=\"tab-panel__name h2 show-tablet\">Educational Opportunity Centers<i class=\"panel-icon\"><\/i><\/p><div class=\"tab-panel__inner\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"column-2 tab-panel__main-content fade-to-up-children \"><h2 class=\"kicker\">Educational Opportunity Centers<\/h2><div class=\"tab-panel__content\"><p>Educational Opportunity Centers serve displaced or underemployed workers from families.
