NTAA's goal is to create a network of individuals whose lives have been transformed by a TRIO program (Talent Search, Upward Bound, EOC, SSS & McNair)
(38)
The NTAA hopes that each individual graduating from college with the assistance of a TRIO program will look to the National TRIO Alumni Association as a way to give back to succeeding generations of low-income, first-generation and disabled students. We strive to engage Alumni in welcoming new graduates of TRIO programs, and facilitating their success in local community and professional organizations. Local Alumni Chapters will provide the organizational infrastructure in communities throughout the country to facilitate these goals.

The National TRIO Alumni Association activates communities of heroes to inspire even the most disadvantaged American to experience transformation through higher education. Since 1965, students have been graduating from college because their country invested in their futures – through grants, loans and work-study programs. But at the same time, America made another key decision: to invest in the people and programs that would help low-income and first-generation students to: • Learn about, • Aspire to, • Prepare for, • Enroll and • Graduate from College.
