TRIO programs are federally funded grant programs that provide support to first-generation, low-income or disabled students to aid their successful achievement of a college degree. Student Support Services is one of seven federal TRIO programs funded through the United States Department of Education. ASU-Beebe hosts four federal TRIO programs on two campuses. Both the Beebe and Heber Springs campuses have Student Support Services and Upward Bound programs.
