|---|
| 15 | | - | Corporation, students who aspire to be their families’ first college graduate but lack the |
|---|
| 16 | | - | requisite funds can avail themselves of these federal educational support programs, and |
|---|
| 17 | | - | Whereas, in 1964, in the Equal Opportunity Act, Congress established Upward Bound, |
|---|
| 18 | | - | the original federal college incentive program for financially disadvantaged students; in |
|---|
| 19 | | - | the Higher Education Act of 1965, Congress created Talent Search to assist these students |
|---|
| 20 | | - | applying for newly established federal financial aid support; and in 1968, the 1965 law |
|---|
| 21 | | - | was amended to include the Special Services for Disadvantaged Students program (now |
|---|
| 22 | | - | known as Student Support Services), and together these three services became commonly |
|---|
| 23 | | - | referred to as the Federal TRIO Programs, and |
|---|
| 24 | | - | Whereas, subsequent amendments to the 1965 legislation created the Educational |
|---|
| 25 | | - | Opportunities Centers and Veterans Upward Bound (1972); the Ronald E. McNair Post- |
|---|
| 26 | | - | Baccalaureate Achievement Program (1986); and in 1990, the Upward Bound program |
|---|
| 27 | | - | created a new division, Upward Bound Math-Science, and |
|---|
| 28 | | - | Whereas, in 1992, Congress officially renamed and combined these programs as the |
|---|
| 29 | | - | Federal TRIO Programs, and they continue to be a special gateway for financially |
|---|
| 30 | | - | disadvantaged students to pursue their college dream, and |
|---|
| 31 | | - | Whereas, students and administrators representing the Federal TRIO Programs in |
|---|
| 32 | | - | Vermont are visiting the State House today, Friday, April 25, 2025, and their visit serves |

| 33 | | - | as an opportunity to recognize the educational and societal roles of the Federal TRIO |
