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 include additional initiatives aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for underrepresented populations.

On April 25, 2025, students and administrators from the Federal TRIO Programs are visiting the State House, providing a timely occasion to acknowledge their impact on education and society. The resolution calls for the General Assembly to formally recognize these achievements and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Board of Directors of the Vermont Educational Opportunity Programs, reinforcing the state's commitment to supporting educational equity and access.
