myCSUSMTRIO Pre-College Programs

The Federal TRIO Pre-College Programs (TRIO) are Federal outreach and student services
programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged
backgrounds. TRIO includes programs targeted to serve and assist low-income individuals,
first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities to progress through
the academic pipeline to postbaccalaureate programs.

Our programs provide college planning and preparation tools to transition participants from high school to college, with the ultimate goal of completing a postsecondary education. All program services are FREE to our program participants.

- Upward Bound Classic (Serving Escondido)
- Educational Talent Search (Serving Oceanside)
TRIO programs are federally funded grants by the U.S. Department of Education.
