**Organization and Staff**
- Student Service  Organization Structure

The Federal TRIO Programs (TRIO) are Federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.  TRIO includes eight programs targeted to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to postbaccalaureate programs.  TRIO also includes a training program for directors and staff of TRIO projects.

The recipients of the grants, **depending on the specific program**, are institutions of higher education, public and private agencies and organizations including community-based organizations with experience in serving disadvantaged youth and secondary schools.  Combinations of such institutions, agencies, and organizations may also apply for grants.  These entities plan, develop and carry out the services for students.  While individual students are served by these entities, they may not apply for grants under these programs.  Additionally, in order to be served by one of these programs, a student must be eligible to receive services and be accepted into a funded project that serves the institution or school that student is attending or the area in which the student lives.
