TRIO Student Support Services Program

Northeastern's TRIO program has provided additional academic support to qualified students for over 40 years.

This program allows Northeastern to deliver academic and personal support, provide free tutoring for academic success, offer workshops, and provide services for students who are first generation, low income or who have learning disabilities.  All housed in the Monahan Learning Center (MLC), the SSS program strives to help students reach their academic potential and achieve success.  The SSS program is funded through a federal TRIO grant.

We serve students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and who meet at least one of the following criteria:

  • neither parent graduated from a four-year college;
  • qualify as income limited under federal income guidelines;
  • have a documented disability

SSS and the MLC are committed to enriching and promoting academic growth and inquiry through

  • Adaptive Academic Support.
  • Mentorship.
  • Inclusiveness.
  • Success Recognition.
  • Integrity.

Applications are accepted throughout the school year until our cohort is filled. 

If you have any questions or issues, please call the Monahan Learning Center at (970) 521-6670 or (970) 521-6619 or see the FAQ.

I came to NJC on a wrestling scholarship. I had other opportunities from various universities, but this matched my price point for school.

If I had to say something about Northeastern it's that it's a very family-run university and it feels great. All the professors and staff of the university are very nice and kind.

There is a sense of community within the business department, the students, tutors at MLC, and teachers all come together to support one another.
