Student Support Services TRIO
The Student Support Services (SSS) Program is a federally funded
program designed to assist, support, and advise eligible students
to successfully navigate the college experience and to increase
retention and graduation rates of its participants. To be
eligible for the program, a student must be officially enrolled at
Gannon University, be a citizen or permanent resident of the United
States, and must meet federal income eligibility guidelines, be a
first generation college student, or have a documented
disability.
Each student involved with the program is assigned a TRIO
Student Support Services (SSS) advisor. Students will meet with
their SSS advisor on a regular basis to address academic,
financial, career or personal concerns. Together, they will develop
an Individual Student Success Plan that will provide the student
with the resources he/she will need to be a successful student at
Gannon University.
