"If a Wisconsinite wants to go to college, they should have the opportunity to do so regardless of their income, race, zip code, or background. The TRIO Program is essential in accomplishing this goal, helping connect students who have historically been locked out of a higher education to a college degree. This legislation will strengthen this crucial program, break down barriers that prevent young people from accessing these resources, and help institutions offer this vital support to put a college education in reach for more Wisconsinites."
