About TRIO Student Success Program
TRIO Student Success Program is a federally funded success program that helps first-generation, income-eligible college students with academic need and college students with disabilities in their transition to college and until graduation. TRIO SSP participants learn to have fun while achieving their personal and educational goals.
TRIO SSP is designed to assist eligible students by offering a variety of services tailored to meet their individual needs. We provide services to help students improve class performance and find the necessary resources (academic, financial, career, etc.) on campus and in the community so that they graduate and achieve their life goals.
For over 40 years, TRIO SSP has helped hundreds of WMU students obtain their baccalaureate degrees.
