Welcome to TRIO Student Support Services
TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally funded program that helps first‑generation, low‑income, and disabled undergraduate students stay in college, graduate, and transfer to four‑year institutions. Laredo College has successfully carried out the Student Support Services Program since 1973. Although the SSS Program has evolved over the years, the goals of SSS continue to be the same today. The SSS Program is funded to increase the college retention and graduation rates of students within the Laredo community. SSS continues to maintain success by promoting tutoring, academic advisement, and other services for participants at the Center for Learning, Academic, and Student Success (CLASS), which are available at Fort McIntosh Campus (Main) and Laredo College South Campus. The TRIO Student Support Services at Laredo College offers a variety of services and resources to help students navigate through college. TRIO provides a rich supportive environment, comprised of excellent professional staff and peer mentors.
