OUR PROGRAM
TRIO Rising Scholars (TRS) is a federal TRIO Student Support Services program funded by a $414,231 grant administered by the US Department of Education. TRS is one of five Student Support Services programs located within the Center for Multicultural and Educational Opportunities at Boise State University. We offer a multi-faceted support unit—offering academic assistance and encouragement for our eligible scholars. Our goal is to help students earn their four-year degree and develop into scholars that are well prepared for their future careers and/or graduate programs.
Our Goal
We believe students from all socioeconomic backgrounds should have equal opportunity to earn a post-secondary education. We assist students in the transition from being a typical college student to a scholar who is well-connected, engaged, and heading down a path of success. The Boise State University TRIO Rising Scholars Program is designed to help students achieve their dream of graduating from college with an undergraduate degree in a humanities or business field.
