Welcome to the TRIO Programs at Case
Western Reserve University. Two federal pre-college TRIO Programs, Upward Bound
and Talent Search, comprise this department in the Division of Student Affairs.
We invite you to learn more about our programs and invite the participation of
eligible participants.
Upward Bound is the oldest of the
pre-college programs having been established in 1966. Talent Search, now in its
fifth year at the University, was first funded in 1998. The TRIO programs
office was officially established in November 1998, administratively placing
these programs under one umbrella.

We are committed to providing access to postsecondary education to low-income
and potential first generation college secondary school students, beginning at
the sixth grade through the 12th grade. Through services provided by our
programs, which include academic assistance, counseling and advising, academic
instruction, tutoring, college planning and placement assistance, cultural
activities, internships, community services opportunities, and career exposure
during the summer and the school year, we aim to increase the number of
individuals obtaining a four year college degree.
