TRIO and Sponsored Research Programs
TRIO programs are funded by grants from the Department of Education. They were initiated
in response to President Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty.” TRIO Programs began in

TRIO Programs. Since that time, more programs have been added, but the name remains
the same.
