WSU announces TRIO Scholars Program

性色视频 has started a scholarship program that benefits high school students who are participating in one of the pre-college federally funded TRIO programs housed on WSU鈥檚 campus. Twenty-seven students were selected from eight 性色视频 high schools.

Each student will receive a one-year, full-ride scholarship to attend 性色视频 State for their freshman year. The scholarship covers tuition and fees, books and on-campus housing.

The students will be recognized at the first TRIO Scholars dinner at 6 p.m. Monday, March 31, in the Marcus Welcome Center. Students will be honored at the event and meet WSU administrators and current students.

The TRIO program primarily prepares students from low-income homes who become first-generation college students. 性色视频 State houses more TRIO programs than any institution in the country.
