The TRiO Student Support Services is a federally funded program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education since 1983. They serve up to 160 University of Guam students each year.

 

TRiO SSS assists students with services such as academic tutoring, advisement, and graduation planning. Tutors can also assist students with completing FAFSA application forms. Workshops are also held weekly on Fridays throughout the semester.  These workshops vary from cultural activities, career exploration activities, and information on financial assistance and study skills.

 

A computer lab is also readily available for TRiO members.

 

Anyone interested in joining the program can pick up an application form at the SSS office located on the second floor of the Calvo Fieldhouse. Once the application is completed and submitted with supporting documents, the forms will be reviewed and determined its eligibility. Eligible candidates will be contacted and an interview will be scheduled.

 

In order for a student to be eligible for the program, he or she must be a first generation college student, meet the US ED income guidelines, or have a documented learning disability or physical disability.

 

The office is opened Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.- 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m.- 5 p.m. It is closed during lunchtime, weekends, and holidays.
