TRIO/STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally-funded TRIO program that provides opportunities for academic development, assists students in meeting basic college requirements, and serves to motivate students towards the successful completion of their post-secondary education. SSS seeks to close the opportunity and achievement gap and increase the retention and graduation rates of underserved and under-represented students.

The SSS Program is for incoming and current ×ÔοÊÓƵ Gallup student who need and require our services to be successful at ×ÔοÊÓƵ Gallup. We are here to help you develop a personalized educational plan and career exploration. The SSS Staff serves as advocates, navigators, supporters, and resources to our students. Other opportunities we offer aside from our supportive staff and services- we host various workshops, guest speakers, invite scholarship representatives, fun group activities and community service.
