Welcome to TriO
GCSC proudly sponsors three federally-funded TRiO support and outreach grant projects—Upward Bound, Educational Opportunity Center, and Student Support Services—which are designed to provide free services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Mission
TRiO strives to provide low-income, first-generation, or disabled individuals from Bay, Gulf, and Franklin counties with impactful services designed to motivate them toward the successful attainment of a post-secondary credential.
Programs
Upward Bound (UB) provides fundamental support to high school participants in their preparation for
college entrance.
The Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) assists low-income or first-generation adults with accessing higher education.
