You may be eligible for the CCV TRIO Student Support Services Program! This is a federally funded program designed to support students in reaching their academic potential and meet their educational and career goals. CCV TRIO can serve a limited number of students, therefore we have an application process that assesses student motivation, academic need, and ability to benefit. The selection process also includes a conversation with a TRIO Advisor, which can be scheduled by calling your local CCV Center. CCV TRIO students are typically eligible to receive the benefits listed below for up to four years or until graduation or transfer. Being a student is hard work, as you already know, and this program is one more resource in your effort to earn a college degree. Acceptance to CCV’s TRIO program is an honor and takes a commitment by the student to be truly effective.
