Free TRIO programs near you

Every federally funded TRIO project in Arizona: who qualifies, what you get and how to join.

TRIO is free. You may qualify if you’d be the first in your family to earn a bachelor’s degree, or your family income is under the federal limit.

First generation means neither parent earned a bachelor’s degree, or, if you lived with and were supported by only one parent, that parent did not. Official text
Low-income for TRIO means your family’s taxable income last year was no more than 150% of the poverty level. Official text
