“ Alice asked the Cheshire Cat, who was sitting in a tree, ‘What road do I take?’
The cat asked, ‘Where do you want to go?’
‘I don’t know,’ Alice answered.
‘Then,’ said the cat, ‘It really doesn’t matter, does it?’ ” — Lewis Carroll, “Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland”
“ I used to be a success coach, working with students one on one; I miss it, and would gladly go back to it. ”

About Us
Our eligible students receive our services for FREE!
Are you eligible? Our eligible students meet the following criteria:
1. Low income OR first-generation college student OR an individual with disability
2. Pursuing your first associates degree
3. In need of academic support
At TRiO, we’re a support system for you to support you in excelling in your classes and life. Although the students we serve come from diverse backgrounds, they are often low-income or first-generation students who do not necessarily have the foundational support their counterparts do.
The road to obtaining your associates can be difficult and confusing, but you don’t have to go at it alone. Sign up; we’ll help.
You have questions? Check out our FAQ below. More questions? Email us at trio@lco.edu.
TRiO is funded by the U.S. Department of Education
What Our Students Are Saying
“Being part of the TRIO program was vital to my academic success. I don't think I would've been able to complete my associate degree without it. My advisor did so much more than mentor me: she pushed me to keep going. I am forever grateful to TRIO's staff for all of their amazing work and support.”
— Clarissa L. Bressette ’20
