Highline College TRiO

Hello Thunderbirds!

The 2022-23 TRiO application for Highline College students is now live! TRiO Student Support Services (SSS) provides professional mentorship and coaching, academic and transfer advising, individualized tutoring, cultural and community-building activities, and courses related to academic success and transfer goals.

Please note that eligibility for the TRIO SSS Program includes a) a desire to transfer to a four-year program or college, AND b) identifying as either a first-generation college student, a low-income student, or a student with a disability. If you know any students that would be a great fit for TRiO and would thrive with this kind of support, please send them the application.

Calling all TRiO scholars!

Are you interested in being involved on campus? Do you want to create community events for fellow TRiO students? Can you commit to volunteering at TRiO at least 3 hours per week?

If you answered yes to all the questions, apply to become a TRiO Ambassador for the 22-23 academic year!

TRiO Student Ambassadors serve as volunteer (unpaid) student representatives for the TRiO program. They are passionate TRiO participants who believe in the mission and purpose of TRiO. They believe all students deserve access to quality education, and are aware of the services and resources offered by the TRiO program.

The goal of the TRiO Student Ambassadors Program is to outreach and market to their peers at Highline College of the services and resources offered by TRiO. TRiO Ambassadors also serve as a voice for their fellow peers in the program and help support/plan different events, activities, and initiatives by taking on student leadership roles to promote active engagement in TRiO.
