TRIO Project Achieve provides the following services:

Transition Advising

Students meet regularly with TRIO Project Achieve advisors for assistance with the transition from high school or community college to UNO.

Approximately 1/3 of the TRIO Project Achieve students are incoming freshmen with no college experience. Most of the TRIO Project Achieve students transfer to UNO from a different TRIO/SSS program at their high school, community college, or other four-year institution.

During the transition advising sessions, the TRIO Project Achieve staff pays special attention to factors and services that help students become successful at UNO.

TRIO Project Achieve also provides opportunities for the transitioning students to engage with other UNO students through:

  • Workshops
  • Community service projects
  • Mentoring programs
  • Exposure to cultural events and academic programs
