TRIO SSS at Mansfield
The goal of the TRIO SSS program at Commonwealth University-Mansfield is to help low-income and first-generation college students and/or college students with disabilities succeed at college and earn their bachelor's degree.
What is TRIO?
The TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program provides no cost academic assistance to up to 200 eligible undergraduate students at Commonwealth University - Mansfield. This is accomplished through a variety of support services and personal assistance designed to meet the needs of our TRIO students. All participants are assigned an individual advisor who will help them in determining their specific strengths and weaknesses so that the program can offer the most appropriate assistance for each student.
Students can become a participant at any point in their undergraduate program (freshman through senior) and remain in the program until they receive their undergraduate degree from CU-Mansfield. There is no charge for services provided to students through TRIO Student Support Services.
