National TRIO Alumni Association

National TRIO Alumni Association 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)
(18)

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.

#FacesofTRIO is a space to share the stories of TRIO alumni! Today we would like for you to meet TRIO alum Christina Edwards!

“ The Student Support Services (SSS) program has provided me with the tools and resources needed to not just get by, but to truly succeed and make all of my goals and aspirations come to life. I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for the help of mentors, advisors, and teachers that pushed me to beat the odds, not become a statistic, and be the best version of myself. I know what it's like to not have a clue on how to navigate your education, career, and life in general. TRIO made me feel more confident in my decisions and provided me with support every step of the way so I did not feel alone.

Now I am proud to say that I can take what I've learned from this great program and use my business to give back to the community, by providing hundreds of individuals throughout the United States with the right tools and resources to succeed in life as well. It's all about paying it forward and I am forever grateful that TRIO took a chance on me and granted me with the support I desperately needed.”

“ TRIO Upward Bound, the leaders, mentors, and peers each played an integral role in helping a young man like myself develop into the person I am today. TRIO helped me achieve my potential as a high school student. From teaching me how to apply to colleges and scholarships, to free tutoring, and molding me into a world citizen, the lessons I learned from TRIO Upward Bound prepared me for continued success.

I first visited a university thanks to a tour organized by the leaders of my TRIO program. Three years later, I became the first in my family to graduate with a college degree.

Every first generation student should have access to the resources TRIO offers. Without them, I can't say that I would've successfully graduated from a university. Without TRIO, its leaders, its support system, and those who fought for these programs before me, I wouldn't be the individual I am today.”

The Council for Opportunity in Education - COE would like to welcome TRIO alum Marisha Addison as a Data Analyst/Researcher at the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education, the research arm of the Council for Opportunity in Education. Prior to joining the Pell Institute, she worked as a success coach for School To Career Progressions. Marisha received her B.A. from Calvin College and her M.S. from the University of Amsterdam. She is an alumni of the Talent Search program at the College of Southern Maryland!

(Check out her interview below!)

What brought you to COE and the Pell Institute?
As a first-generation student and a TRIO alumni, I can honestly say fate brought me to COE. However, a passion for using research as an instrument that can catalyze socio-economic structural changes within institutions, for groups of people, and individuals brought me to the Pell Institute.

What have you enjoyed most about working at COE and the Pell Institute?

Everything. From the big brainstorming sessions for the COE's Annual Conference, creating data visualizations for the indicator report, and even the small details of just being present make my day worth while. I am grateful for the opportunity to work for such a pioneer higher education organization whose mission is to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for low-income, first-generation, and disabled college students.

“TRIO has been a life changer for me. I was forced to grow up really fast and learn to take care of myself. Upward Bound became my oasis. It was a place I could go and not have to worry about anything else. When I became a homeless, independent student during my senior year of high school I really thought college was out of reach. My TRIO family made sure that I never took my sight off of my goals despite my circumstances.⁣
⁣
When I got to college they connected me with an SSS program to ensure that I succeeded. I later joined the McNair Scholars Program because I had a taste of success and I wanted more. It is because of TRIO that I was the first in my family to graduate from college! TRIO changed my life and allowed me to give a better life to my husband and son. I am proof that TRIO Works!”⁣

General information

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.
