A house RESOLUTION

TO DECLARE MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AS "SC TRIO 
DAY IN SOUTH CAROLINA" AND TO COMMEND THE SC TRIO ORGANIZATION FOR OVER 50 
YEARS OF OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESS TO PROMOTE AWARENESS, EDUCATION, 
AND ADVOCACY FOR TRIO PERsONNEL AND TO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO BECOME COLLEGE 
READY, GAIN COLLEGE ACCESS, AND GRADUATE FROM AN INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING 
TO BECOME PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS.

Whereas, TRIO Programs 
are our nation's way of carrying out a commitment to educational opportunities 
for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background, or economic 
circumstance. They are funded under the Title IV Higher Education Act of 1965 
by the US Department of Education. TRIO Programs help students to overcome 
class, social, and cultural barriers to higher education and to realize their 
educational potential; and

Whereas, TRIO Programs 
provide services to students who come from low-income families and whose 
parents have not graduated with a four-year degree. Congress mandated that 
two-thirds of those students enrolled in TRIO Programs must fall into both 
these categories. Students enrolled in today's TRIO Programs mirror our 
nation's multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society; and

Whereas, a key 
component of student success is to provide academic tutoring, personal 
counseling, mentoring, financial guidance, and other supports necessary for 
educational access and retention; and

Whereas, SC TRIO brings 
together in a work and study community those persons who have an active 
interest in or who are professionally involved in broadening accessibility to 
and success in formal postsecondary education in the State of South Carolina. Now, 
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, 
declare Monday, September 30, 2024, as "SC TRIO Day in South Carolina" and 
commend South Carolina TRIO Programs for providing over 50 years of college 
access and advocacy to students in the state of South Carolina.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Ms. Ashley Glenn Robinson, SC TRIO President and Ms. Regina 
Hailey Smith, SC TRIO Parliamentarian.
