Programs

The federal TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program is designed to support eligible first-generation, low-income students, and students with disabilities to successfully complete their post-secondary education.

TRIO SSS programs at Sonoma State University

Sonoma State University hosts two TRIO SSS programs. Our classic SSS program, United for Success, serves 350 eligible students each year. Our second program, Multilingual Achievers Program, serves 140 eligible multilingual students each year. Each program offers individualized, one-on-one support designed to support students in completing their baccalaureate degree.

Enrolled MAP students also receive access to a dedicated computer lab and student study areas.
