WELCOME

WELCOME to TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) at the University of Montana! For many of our students, TRIO SSS is a home away from home. We hope that you feel the same way when you become a member. As you navigate our website you will find an abundant amount of support, whether you are new to UM or a returning student.

Mission Statement: Promoting Academic and Personal Growth Through Comprehensive
Support and Genuine Care.

What is TRIO SSS?

TRIO Student Support Services is a unique program funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education and has been a part of UM's services to students since 1979. We provide assistance to at least 375 active students every year. Students who participate in the program come from every academic department and major on campus. To participate in the program, students must meet eligibility guidelines that are based on household income, parent's education or student disability.
