Historical NoteReturn to Top
TRiO is the culmination of several different programs. Initially, Upward Bound was established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 as part of a greater spectrum of federal programs within the “War on Poverty.” In 1965, Talent Search, a second outreach program, was developed under the Higher Education Action. Student Support Services, initially titled Special Services for Disadvantaged Students, gained authorization under the Higher Education Amendments. By the late 1960s, this series of federal educational opportunity programs was commonly referred to as “TRiO”.
TRiO has expanded over the years to reach more students through providing additional services and programs. In 1972, the Higher Education Amendments authorized the Educational Opportunity Centers. In 1976, the Training for Federal TRiO Programs, initially known as the Training Program for Special Programs Staff and Leadership Personnel was authorized. 1986 marked the addition of a sixth program, the Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program. To meet the growing STEM needs, Upward Bound Math/Science program was established in 1990. While this program is administered under the same regulations as the standard Upward Bound program, its funding is applied for separately. In 1998, the TRiO Dissemination Partnership program was authorized to encourage the spread of the practices of TRiO programs. Under the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2001, the Student Support Services (SSS) program was amended to permit the use of program funds for direct financial assistance (Grant Aid) for current SSS participants who are receiving Federal Pell Grants.
Legislative requirements for all Federal TRIO Programs can be found in the Higher Education Act of 1965, Title IV, Part A, Subpart 2.

Series 1: Grants, 1980-2001Return to Top
Series 1 primarily consists of grant applications for specific programs within TRiO SSS, as well as additional supporting documents. This series also includes a single digital folder which contains files regarding SSP tutoring and further grant information.
The grants and programs included in this series all had the goal of making higher education more accessible to low income, minority, handicapped, and limited English ability students.
The BRAVO Program which began in 1992, serves low income Hispanics in the Beaverton, OR area. The bilingual program of volunteers helps participants to fill out job applications, understanding notices in the mail, English tutoring, job referrals and/or placement in other training or service programs in the community. This program also helps students to "mainstream" into ESL programs offered by their school districts.
The Continuation Grant provides academic assistance, advising, and cultural programing to low income, minority, handicap, and limited English speaking ability students at Oregon State University.
The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Inc., encourages the recruitment and retention of women and minorities into fields of science and engineering. This program instituted specific seminars in pre-chemistry and mathematics to provide students with access to the skills needed for success in chemistry, mathematics, and engineering.
The Learn and Serve Grant application sought to provide college students with experience in public school teaching and contributing to the education of younger Hispanic students.
The Literacy Grant application was for Oregon State University to institute a literacy tutoring program with Hispanic public school students in Beaverton and Woodburn.
The Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program is to provide grants for higher education institutions to prepare low-income, first generation, and minority students for graduate or doctoral studies.
Special Services for Disadvantaged Students (SSDS) sought to augment academic assistance, advising services and cultural programing available to low income, minority, handicapped, and limited English ability students at Oregon State University. The Student Support Services Program (SSSP) had the same goals as SSDS with a goal of increasing retention and graduation rates of students.
The Edge Grant was to encourage women and minority participation in graduate education by providing a summer research program, assign faculty mentors, counsel and advise application into graduate school. Academic areas of interest were the Agricultural Sciences, Archeology, Physical & Biological Sciences, Engineering, Forestry, Liberal Arts, and Oceanography.
