TRiO Student Support
The TRIO program offers academic and personal support to income eligible students, first generation students (meaning their parents did not earn a 4-year degree), and disabled students who are enrolled at OCTC. The goal of the program is to reduce barriers to help students successfully complete classes, graduate, and/or transfer to a 4-year institution. Once students become active members, they remain a member and receive our services for the duration of their college career. All Services are provided at no cost to participants.
