Upward Bound was the first program emerging out of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 in response to the administration\u2019s War on Poverty. Educational Talent Search was the second program to be created as part of the Higher Education Act of 1965. In 1968 Student Support Services, which was originally known as Special Services for Disadvantaged Students, was the third educational opportunity program to be authorized through Higher Education Amendments.\u00a0The target groups to be served by the TRIO programs were students who came from low income families and\/or families where neither parent completed bachelor level college degrees.\u00a0Over the past 40 plus years, TRIO programs have successfully impacted the lives of millions of\u00a0students by enhancing their opportunity to receive an education. The success of the original three programs made it possible for the following six programs to be added during the years 1972 to 1999.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Veterans Upward Bound (1972)\r\n\r\n\u2022 Educational Opportunity Centers (1972)\r\n\r\n\u2022 TRIO Training Grants (1976)\r\n\r\n\u2022 Ronald E.

Each TRIO program serves a different\u00a0population of student, based upon their academic, career, educational, and personal needs. All the\u00a0TRIO programs provide a similar array of retention based academic and personal services that are\u00a0designed to prepare participants for subsequent levels of education.\r\n\r\n<strong>Success and Growth<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe continued success of TRIO programs has resulted in the eventual growth to 2,880 funded \u00a0programs across the United States in 2009, serving 836,395 low income, first generation,\u00a0and disabled students. Nationally, 37% of TRIO students are Whites, 35% are African Americans,\u00a019% are Hispanics, 4% are Native Americans, 4% are Asian-Americans and 1% are listed as other\u00a0and\/or multicultural. More than 1,000 colleges, universities, community colleges, and agencies\u00a0now offer TRIO Programs in America.\r\n\r\n<em>Unless otherwise noted, information for this report has been taken from the Council for Opportunity in Education website, www.coe.net.org.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_row pix_particles_check=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text] Federal TRIO Programs A History of Success and Growth TRIO Programs in North Dakota: Educational Talent Search Upward Bound Student Support Services Educational Opportunity Center Ronald E.
