Ijshanita Dunigan - TRIO Student Support Services First Generation Student
With TRIO S.S.S.'s support, I'm able to complete my associate degree at L.S.C., and I've found my new passion to pursue a major in biology. One of many benefits of TRIO S.S.S. is that they take students on field trips to see and get a feel of other campuses, and they connect you with advisors and admissions at those colleges!
Rebecca Adderly - TRIO Student Support Services First Generation Student
My TRIO S.S.S. advisor is like my own personal academic cheerleader! Being a first-generation student, I didn't know how to navigate many areas of college life, nor did I set my goals very high. It was my TRIO S.S.S. advisor who encouraged me to reach further. Once I did, I succeeded far above my expectations.
Michael Furo - TRIO Student Support Services First Generation Student
I think anyone who is a first-generation college student should think about applying to TRIO Student Support Services. TRIO S.S.S. can help connect the dots for students, like me, who are trying to figure it all out for the first time.
Leslie McCabe - TRIO Student Support Services First Generation Student
I was a first-generation college student and didn't have any guidance going into college. My advisor helped me with things like applying for financial aid, applying to my program, and figuring out the pre-requisites needed for the P.T.A. program and the classes I needed to complete my A.A. degree.
Jennifer Gustum - TRIO Student Support Services First Generation Student
TRIO S.S.S. has been a great resource while trying to decide if a 4 year path is right for me. Being able to register early is great! My TRIO advisor is amazing. Her positivity really helped put me in a much better place to succeed.
