Services for TRiO Students
Academic Support Services is partially funded by a Federal TRiO grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The purpose of TRiO is to provide support to populations typically under-served by colleges. While we serve all students at JSC, priority is given to those who qualify for service under the TRiO program. To be eligible for grant services, a student must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Be from a family where neither parent completed a four-year bachelor's degree;
- Be from a low income background;
- Have a documented disability.
Academic Support Services offers the following services to students accepted as part of the TRIO program:
- Access to technology
- Free tickets to selected campus cultural events
- Computerized personality type and career assessments
- Financial literacy support
- Financial aid information and workshops
- Graduate school advising
- Supplemental grant aid
