Eligibility

Who is eligible?

To receive assistance from SOS/TRiO, students must first be enrolled at the MSUB senior campus.  
In order to qualify for SOS/TRiO, a participant must meet one of the following three criteria:

• Lower-income (according to Federal Government guidelines based on taxable income).
• First generation college students (meaning that neither parent has a bachelors degree).
• Documented physical or learning disability.

To be accepted into SOS/TRiO students must fill out an application and since space is limited in SOS/TRiO (250 participants) please get your applications in as soon as possible.  Any student may be accepted into SOS/TRiO, regardless of age or year in school. 

Once the application is completed and accepted, the eligible student will be asked to have an intake interview.  Each eligible student must provide proof of income or disability at this time.  Also, each eligible student must bring along their U-Card.  After the interview, the student will be assigned a mentor and can begin to utilize any of the services SOS/TRiO provides.
