What is TRiO SSS?

Striving for Student Success

TRiO Student Support Services at HCC is an exciting program designed to help students just like you! If you have a low income, are a first-generation student, or have a disability, we are here to help.

We offer:

• Tutoring
• Goal Setting and Academic Advising
• Cultural Events
• Computers and TRiO Study Center
• Academic Skills Workshops
• Life Skills Workshops
• Transfer and Career Planning Workshops
• Information and Resources for Financial Aid
• FAFSA Assistance
• Trips to 4-Year Schools
• Induction and Recognition Ceremonies
• Grant Aid

Students admitted as TRiO SSS participants must be pursuing an Associate's degree or be enrolled in a certificate program at Hagerstown Community College.
