“The goal of TRIO programs is to increase college retention, transfer and graduation rates,” said Aaron Prestwich, Assistant Vice President of Student Engagement, Inclusion, and Support at Aims. “The TRIO grants from the U.S. Department of Education will allow Aims to continue its long-lasting legacy of TRIO programs at the institution. The Aims TRIO legacy has impacted thousands of students over the years and will continue impacting Aims students for years to come,” he said.

Aims has two TRIO programs: the SSS Classic Program, which began in 2005, serves eligible participants majoring in any field of study; the SSS STEM Program, which began in 2010, focuses on eligible participants majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics degree programs. The grant provides funding for a TRIO director, multiple TRIO advisors, and several tutors.

Prestwich said, “The continuation of these two TRIO grants mean eligible students at Aims will continue receiving individualized support services and assistance they would not have otherwise received to this degree. TRIO participants will continue to be part of a community where they experience a sense of belonging, acceptance and encouragement. The combination of individualized services and the sense of a ‘home away from home’ environment creates a transformational experience for many TRIO participants.”
