COE Blasts Latest Federal Proposal for TRIO, Calls for Immediate Rescission coenet.org/news-impact/press…
#TRIOWorks #ProtectTRIO
Thank you for your support of the TRIO community! #TRIOWorks
TRIO is a group of federal outreach programs designed to motivate and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Education access means economic mobility. It was an honor to speak with TRIO educators, alumni, students, and advocates at the recent Council for Opportunity in Education’s annual conference!

Met with students from Lincoln last week during their trip to D.C. for @COETalk's National Student Leadership Congress.
Great hearing their stories and goals as they take advantage of opportunities like TRIO programs that help get them ready for college and future careers!

Bipartisan action to protect TRIO. Sens. Collins @SenSusanCollins (R-ME) and Warnock @SenatorWarnock (D-GA) are leading colleagues in calling on ED to withdraw and revise the FY26 Talent Search & EOC applications. collins.senate.gov/newsroom/… #TRIOWorks #ProtectTRIO
The concern: proposed changes shift TRIO’s mission and could disadvantage current grantees while risking funding lapses for students who depend on these programs.
TRIO works. These programs must remain focused on expanding college access and success for low-income, first-generation students. #ProtectTRIO
