Awards

2023 TRIO Achiever Award

TRIO Aspire - October 9, 2023

The TRIO Achiever award is presented to a former TRIO Project participant who was enrolled in and successfully completed a TRIO program in the ASPIRE region. The TRIO Achiever has enrolled in and successfully completed a post-secondary program of study resulting in a baccalaureate or terminal degree from an accredited institution of higher education. The TRIO achiever is a person of high stature within his/her profession or has received recognition for outstanding academic achievement. The TRIO Achiever is currently be employed above the entry level designation for his/her profession or enrolled in a program for a degree above the baccalaureate degree. The TRIO Achiever has made significant civic, community, or professional contributions. Participation in the TRIO projects had a significant impact upon the candidate in obtaining his/her educational and/or professional objectives (as acknowledged by the participant).
