TRIO

TRIO is a federally funded program that provides structured academic, personal and career assistance to students as they complete their college education.

At UW-Whitewater's Rock County campus, TRIO has been empowering students since 1980, and hundreds have gone on to earn their four-year degree at schools around the state and nation. Students in the TRIO program not only get their degree, they do it with honors. TRIO students are well-represented on the Dean's List and among campus scholarship winners.

Record of success

Every year, TRIO serves 150 students who set their sights on success in and out of the classroom. TRIO students have gone on to make contributions to the community as teachers, attorneys, journalists, small business owners and leaders in many other fields.
