The bill H. 3670, introduced in the South Carolina House of Representatives, declares Monday, September 30, 2024, as "SC TRIO Day in South Carolina." This resolution commends the SC TRIO organization for over 50 years of significant achievements in promoting awareness, education, and advocacy for TRIO personnel. The organization plays a crucial role in empowering students to become college-ready, gain access to higher education, and ultimately graduate, thereby contributing to the development of productive citizens.

The resolution highlights the importance of TRIO Programs, which are designed to provide educational opportunities to students from low-income families and those whose parents have not completed a four-year degree. These programs offer essential services such as academic tutoring, personal counseling, mentoring, and financial guidance to help students overcome barriers to higher education. The resolution aims to recognize the contributions of SC TRIO in fostering educational access and success for a diverse student population in South Carolina.
