ISU TRIO Veterans and ISU TRIO Educational Opportunity Center (pre college adult) Programs are working towards developing an online eligibility application to ensure that applications into these programs can still be processed using digital signatures and digital income verification. This is particularly important for adult populations looking for the opportunity and assistance to enroll in college or certificate programs this coming Fall.
ISU TRIO Upward Bound/Upward Bound Math Science Programs have geared up for providing a 100% virtual summer program for 120 high school students ages 14-18. This program will include the ability for the students to receive college preparation coursework, STEM programming, and a virtual internship/job shadow experience allowing them to earn $600 this summer.
