Welcome to TRIO Student Support Services
(Click on the video above)
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.
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.
At TRIO, we are dedicated to helping low-income students who are first-generation college students, and students with disabilities evidencing academic need to overcome any obstacles that may interfere with their post-secondary success!
