What is TRiO?

Federal TRiO programs began in the 1960s with the first three programs: Upward Bound(1964), Talent Search (1965), and Student Support Services (1968). Since then, the TRiO program has expanded to include Educational Opportunity Centers, TRiO Dissemination Partnership Program, Training Program for Federal TRiO Programs Staff, Upward Bound, and Upward Bound Math-Science.
