Easier Access to TRIO Educational Support Programs

This new law makes it easier for students to access TRIO educational support programs, such as student support services and the McNair program. Financial information provided to colleges for financial aid purposes can now also be used to qualify for these programs. This means fewer formalities for students and broader access to support that helps them complete their studies.
Key points
Colleges can now use students' financial data, received for financial aid purposes, to also assess eligibility for TRIO programs.
This change simplifies the application process for students seeking support through TRIO programs, eliminating the need to resubmit the same information.
More students, especially those from underrepresented groups, may gain access to programs that support their academic and professional success.
