POLICY SEMINAR 2025
TRIO has never faced a larger challenge. We need to defend our programs.
The incoming administration has openly targeted education generally and TRIO, in particular, through past budget proposals, which would have eliminated entire programs and shifted TRIO to block grant funding to the states. During the 2025 Policy Seminar, you’ll have the chance to join forces with TRIO alumni, professionals, and advocates nationwide. This event includes our Leadership Summit, Seminar on Relations with the U.S. Department of Education, and Legislative Conference—a powerful lineup designed to prepare you to advocate fiercely for TRIO.

Trump Administration Reverses Federal Grant Funding Freeze Amid Legal Challenges
As COE shared last night, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has ordered a pause to the disbursement and obligation of federal funds, to go into effect at TODAY at 5:00 p.m. ET. This means that the G6 system for drawdowns will not be available after 5:00 p.m. ET tonight. Given the immediacy of this action, COE advises TRIO grantees to take these actions.
