Funded by the U.S. Department of Education, TRiO programs are federal outreach and student services programs designed to ensure equal educational opportunity for all Americans, regardless of race, ethnic background or economic circumstances. Notre Dame offers two TRiO programs: Upward Bound equips South Bend high school students to enter and succeed in higher education, and Talent Search provides academic, career and financial counseling to South Bend youth in grades 7 through 12. Combined, the two programs have benefited more than 20,000 South Bend-area students since 1966 with academic services such as tutoring, college visits, mentoring and leadership conferences.
