Mission

The TRIO SSS program’s mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. Its two main purposes are to:

• Increase the college retention, persistence, and graduation rates of program participants; and
• Foster a climate supportive of the success of students whose parents did not complete a four-year college degree and/or are disabled and/or whose family income may hinder them from remaining in college without financial assistance to receive the full range of services and opportunities at UW-Milwaukee

 

Student Support Services Program (SSS) is funded by the U.S. Department of Education to provide academic support services for eligible students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Our SSS program is one of seven federally-funded, early outreach, student service programs from the Federal TRIO Grant Programs.

Other UWM TRIO Programs Include:

• Upward Bound
• Upward Bound Math & Science
• Veterans Upward Bound
• Educational Opportunity Center (EOC)
• Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program

UW-Milwaukee is one of the very few universities nationwide that have most TRIO Programs spanning from middle school to post-baccalaureate education! There are 1,149 SSS programs nationwide with 28 in Wisconsin.
