Our TRIO Student Support Services Program (SSS) is designed to provide academic support to enrolled East Texas A&M students who meet eligibility requirements. The purpose of SSS is to help you keep moving forward toward graduation day. Our services help equip you with the academic skills and tools you need to succeed. They also increase the overall retention rate of students at East Texas A&M.
