历史 of the Federal 三个项目

“三人组” is not an acronym. 而, it refers to the three original programs that were funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act, 向上的束缚, Educational 人才搜索, 和 Special Services (later named Student Support Services).

They were the first national college access 和 retention programs to address the serious social 和 cultural barriers to education in America. Previously, policymakers only considered the issue of financing a college education. 三人组 began as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty.

Johnson’s War on Poverty

The Educational Opportunity Act of 1964 established an experimental program known as 向上的束缚. Then, in 1965, the Higher Education Act created Educational 人才搜索. 最后, 另一个程序, Special Services for Disadvantaged Students, later known as Student Support Services, was launched in 1968. 在一起, this “trio” of federally-funded programs encouraged access to higher education for low-income students.
By 1998, the 三个项目 had become a vital pipeline to opportunity, serving traditional students, displaced workers, 和退伍军人. The original three programs had grown to seven, adding Educational Opportunity Centers 和 Veterans 向上的束缚 in 1972, 罗纳德·E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program in 1986, 向上的束缚 Math/Science in 1990.

三个项目, like Federal Pell Grants, are funded under Title IV of the 1965 Higher Education Act.

超过800人,000低收入, first-generation students 和 disabled students— from sixth grade to college graduation— are served nationwide by over 3,100 programs on college campuses throughout the nation.
