Our mission is to assist low-income, first generation students to overcome the cultural, academic, class, and social barriers to success in higher education and to assure that participants graduate from the university.

TRiO Vision Statement:

The University of Nevada leads the nation in the number of low-income, first generation students who enter the university and who graduate in four years.  Best practices gleaned from the successful TRiO Scholars Program contribute to the record 90% graduation rate of low-income, first generation students.  All graduates are well prepared for careers or for advanced study.
