Your path to college is a journey, and you don’t have to figure it all out on your own!

It's never too early to start thinking of your future! Don’t choose a career from salary alone. A job that matches your interests and strengths will likely be more fulfilling and sustainable in the long run

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start taking care of yourself.

10 dollars may not seem like much, but it can be the start to bettering your financial future!

here’s no single “right” college path—and that’s the point!
For some students, the perfect fit might be a 4-year university. For others, it could be community college, a trade or technical school, an apprenticeship, or starting somewhere close to home. Reach out to TRIO staff to start the college conversation! It is never to early to prepare for your future!
