About TRIO Student Support Services (SSS)

TRIO SSS serves students at the University of Iowa who demonstrate academic need and are first generation, or low-income, or have a verified disability. TRIO SSS is much more than a tutoring program, and it is expected that participants will be actively engaged in the program throughout their undergraduate studies.

What to Expect

TRIO SSS participants benefit from:

  • Individualized coaching in all facets of the university experience
  • 1 semester hour course every semester to aid in their college success. Topics include academic success, financial literacy, career exploration and professional development, leadership development, and life skills.
  • Connections with students from similar backgrounds
  • Individual and small group tutoring
  • Access to fun events, conferences, and trips

How to Prepare

If you are an active participant and want to request a tutor:

  • Complete a tutor request form on the TRIO SSS website
  • When matched with your tutor, contact them within 24 hours
  • You are allotted one hour of tutoring per week, per course

If you are not an active participant, but you are interested in joining. Please fill out the eligibility application and a member of our team will email you to set up an intake appointment.
