TRIO

Student Support Services

The TRIO/Student Support Services Program at Northeast is an academic assistance program funded through TRIO Grants by the U.S. Department of Education. The program is designed for low-income, first-generation college students or students with a disability. Participants will have the opportunity to meet with their TRIO/SSS advisor once a month, and are encouraged to participate in one of the various program activities each month. All at no cost to the student. As students navigate the demands of college and gain more independence with the responsibility of college life, they will be offered personal and academic support. We provide assistance with meeting college requirements and support to motivate them towards the successful completion of their post-secondary education.

Students participate in the TRIO/SSS program throughout their enrollment at Northeast.
