Welcome to the TRIO Student Support Services Program!

Student Support Services is a federally funded program designed to provide academic assistance and enhance educational opportunities for students. Federal guidelines require students to be from low-income families, first-generation college students, and/or have a documented disability. Participants must also have an academic need to participate in the program. Our program is designed to support the academic needs of 160 eligible CSUDH students. Participants are offered an array of services to ensure a smooth transition to CSUDH as well as ongoing support towards the successful completion of their postsecondary education. This program is offered free of charge to participants.
