Welcome to the University of South Carolina TRIO Programs. We are dedicated to addressing the needs of those low-income, working-class citizens who are interested in pursuing a college degree.

TRIO offers a comprehensive set of services through five different programs, each targeted at a specific group of individuals from the 6th grade through adulthood. Services and activities include academic tutoring, cultural enrichment, financial aid counseling, summer on-campus residency programs, admissions counseling, and student mentoring.

TRIO works in direct partnership with the university as well as with Richland Districts One and Two and various community agencies. We pride ourselves in the success of our participants and are always looking for ways to expand the network of opportunities available to them.
