The Parris Foundation is proud to offer TRIO Programs that make a significant difference in the lives of first generation students by helping them qualify for, attend, and graduate from centers for higher learning.
These programs offer the guidance students need to succeed, which includes everything from improving GPAs, making a seamless transition to college, choosing the right career path, or even going back to high school to finish a GED.
We’re proud to help disenfranchised neighborhoods through our TRIO Programs, which are 100% federally funded by the U.S. Department of Education. This means all services are FREE to participants. With the support of program advisors and mentors, our goal is to cultivate success for students and adults alike.
Whether you’re a student or an advisor, reach out to let us know you’d like to leverage our resources to make the college process easier — and more fun!
To qualify for one of the TRIO programs, there are certain qualifications students have to meet, such as grade level and location. Based on your criteria and your academic goals, we’ll help you decide which program is the best fit for you.
We work with students from the time they begin the program to the time they first transition to college. In addition to meeting with them on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis at their school, we also offer engaging activities for learning in between.
