We know that TRIO programs work because
they're individually focused and intensive programs
and there's not a bureaucratic kind of system in place.
These…you heard her talk about Odila’s
impact in her life and making decisions
that helped her stay on track for college.
That's because the service goes directly to the student
these advisors are in their lives
and so we are helping them understand
that they may become overwhelmed with life
but if they'll stay the course,
that they can do it all
and they can succeed and that's important.
Because TRIO programs provide an opportunity
not a maintenance of poverty;
TRIO programs provide tools and orientations
to move individuals to economic independence,
and TRIO programs are focused on the attainment
of a college degree and not providing
artificial assistance or support.
So please help us by partnering with us,
help us by mentoring our students,
and help us by letting your legislators know
that the work of TRIO
does indeed work.
Thank you.
