Dear TRIO Colleagues
The TRIO community is asking Congress for a $68 million funding increase for the Federal TRIO Programs for a total proposed appropriation of $1.26 billion in FY25.
This amount would allow TRIO programs to move closer to its goal of serving 1 million students – particularly within the Student Support Services program, which is competing for new grants in FY25 – and provide much-needed cost-of-living increases for all current programs to serve students more intensively.
Let’s Remind Your Member of Congress that TRIO Works!
Use the contact information for all congressional education staffers and schedulers by state and district.
We encourage you to take advantage of the resources in this Congressional Recess Packet and to use the contact information for all congressional education staffers and schedulers by state and district. Let us know if you are planning or have already met with your Members of Congress so we can highlight your advocacy! Just send a short report including your name, title, TRIO program, state, type of meeting (site visit, one-on-one, townhall), and the name of the Representative or Senator to [email protected].
