The House concurrent resolution R-112 honors the significant contributions of the Federal TRIO Programs in Vermont, which provide essential educational support to financially disadvantaged students aspiring to be the first in their families to graduate from college. Established through various legislative acts starting in 1964, these programs include Upward Bound, Talent Search, and Student Support Services, among others, and have evolved to encompass a range of initiatives aimed at facilitating access to higher education for underprivileged students.

On April 25, 2025, representatives from the Federal TRIO Programs in Vermont are visiting the State House, providing an opportunity for the General Assembly to recognize their vital role in promoting educational equity. The resolution not only honors their achievements but also directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Board of Directors of the Vermont Educational Opportunity Programs, further solidifying the state's commitment to supporting these initiatives.
