TRiO Student Support Services

Carlton Library First Floor

If you're serious about earning a degree, Student Support Services (SSS) at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College can help. We'll support and give guidance to ensure that you graduate or transfer to the right transfer school. And, we'll give you the academic and personal support to enable you to achieve your educational goals. But that's not all. We can also help you have fun and meet other students who intend to transfer - all at the same time!

What is Student Support Services?

The mission of SSS is to increase the college retention, graduation, and transfer rates of students who intend to transfer to a four-year college. SSS is a federally funded TRiO grant program. Other TRiO programs that you may have heard of include Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math/Sciences, Veterans Upward Bound, Talent Search, Educational Opportunity Centers, and the Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program. These programs were established to assist students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. Each serves a slightly different population and many work in conjunction with one another to support students through varying portions of their academic careers. A full description of each TRiO program may be found on the Council for Opportunity in Education’s website.
