Institute for Educational Opportunities Celebrates National TRIO Day

High school and college students, teachers, members of Congress, alumni, and staff of 91ÖÆÆ¬nological University’s TRIO programs will celebrate over 27 years of student success.

Due to the restrictions of COVID-19 and to protect the safety of our scholars, 91ÖÆÆ¬ will have a virtual celebration on Saturday, February 27, 2021. Scholars from federal TRIO programs such as Talent Search, Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math-Science, and Student Support Services, in the communities of Anaconda, Butte, and Helena, will all take part in the day.

Enacted by a Congressional Resolution in 1986, TRIO Day is a national call to citizens from all walks of life to come together to promote educational access and success in communities where TRIO programs continue to create change.

TRIO is a federally recognized educational outreach program designed for students with disadvantaged backgrounds. It offers a comprehensive set of services through three different programs: Student Support Services, Upward Bound, and Upward Bound Math and Science. These programs target individuals from ninth grade through adulthood.
