FSCJ’s TRiO Student Support Services-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) which includes all Health Science programs is part of a network of federally-funded programs called TRiO, whose objective is to expand educational access and opportunity in higher education for all Americans.  While financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, TRiO programs help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education.

Located at FSCJ North Campus since 2010, TRiO SSS-STEM provides individual and group services to 160 students. Its mission is to increase the academic success, retention and graduate rates of low-income students and individuals with a disability.

An important aspect of the program is that it provides a consistent and ongoing support system that program participants depend upon throughout their time here at FSCJ, and they may participate throughout their enrollment at the College.

If students are committed to achieving their academic goals, they will find great benefits in joining the program.
