Student Testimonials

“It was a challenge being first generation, not having any knowledge of what resources were out there. When I came across TRIO, they had amazing mentors and people to support me. I had a personal success coach, and with his help and TRIO resources, I was able to propel into a better position than what I started with.”

—Guslaine Faton

“TRIO was the support system I needed when starting college, providing resourceful workshops, insightful college visits, and a pivotal scholarship that opened doors I never thought possible. Beyond academic guidance, TRIO nurtured a warm, family-like community where I built lifelong bonds with mentors and peers.”

—Destiny Marrero
