The Council is a nonprofit organization, established in 1981, dedicated to furthering the expansion of educational opportunities throughout the United States, the Caribbean and the Pacific Islands. Through its numerous member- ship services, the Council works in conjunction with colleges, universities, and agencies that host TRIO Programs to specifically help low-income Americans enter college and graduate. Federal TRIO Programs (Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math Science, Veterans Upward Bound, Talent Search, Student Support Services, Educational Opportunity Centers and the Ronald E. McNair Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program) help students to overcome class, social, academic and cultural barriers to higher educa- tion. TRIO services include: assistance in choosing a college; tutoring; personal and financial counseling; career counseling; assistance in applying to college; workplace and college visits; special instruction in reading, writing, study skills and mathematics; assistance in applying for financial aid; and academic assistance in high school or assistance to re-enter high school or college. The Council's work with educational opportunity organizations has contributed to several significant accomplish- ments: an estimated two million students graduating from college; the integration of 2,400 TRIO Programs into college campuses, serving nearly 723,000 students (two-thirds of whom come from families with incomes under $24,000family of four); the establishment of performance standards that are subject to specific outcome measures. Each program's continued funding is dependent upon meeting quantifiable objectives related to college entrance and graduation rates; increased national awareness of equal educational opportunity issues and diversity in America's colleges and universities; and, leveraged $760 million in FY 2001 to support TRIO Programs ($174.9 million in 1985). 3 COUNCIL FOR OPPORTUNITY 1025 VERMONT AVENUE NW I SUITE 900 I WASHINGTON DC 1 20005 1202.347.7430 I FAX 202.347.0786 IN EDUCATIONWWW.TRIOPROGRAMS.ORG Dear Reader: The institutions and agencies that appear in this directory sponsor federally funded TRIO Programs. These programs enable students from low-income families to enter college and graduate. The TRIO Programs include Talent Search, Student Support Services, Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math and Science, Veterans Upward Bound, Educational Opportunity Centers and the Ronald E. McNair Post-baccalaureate Achievement Program. Students enrolled in today's TRIO Programs mirror our nation's multi-cultural and multiethnic society. Thirty-nine percent of TRIO students are White, 36% are African-American, 16% are Hispanic, 5% are Native American and 4% are Asian American. Sixteen thousand TRIO students are disabled. There are more than 25,000 U.S. veterans currently enrolled in the TRIO Programs. TRIO college graduates are working in business, industry, government, medicine, law, education, communications, sales, finance, politics, transportation, publishing, law enforcement, computer science & technology, engineering and accounting. As a community, TRIO Professionals nationwide stand together with parents, students and alumni to promote and protect these vital programs. However, if we expect all Americans to bridge the gap to educational opportunity and to fully participate in our global economy, the TRIO Programs must be expanded to giveover 11 million Americans from low-income families a realistic chance to enter and graduate from college. Many of the colleges, universities, and community agencies listed in this publication are institutional members of the Council for Opportunity in Education (the Council). Council members work to advance equal educational opportunity and actively promote diversity in America's colleges and universities.

Our nation has asserted a commitment to providing educational opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background or economic circumstance. In support of this commitment, Congress established a series of programs to help low-income Americans enter college, graduate and move on to participate fully in America's economic and social life. These programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO Programs (initially just three programs). While student financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, TRIO programs help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education. Who Is Served? As mandated by Congress, two-thirds of the students served must come from families with incomes under $24,000, (family of four) where neither parent graduated from college. Over 2,400 TRIO Programs currently serve nearly 723,000 low-income Americans between the ages of 11 and 27. Many programs serve students in grades six through 12. Thirty-nine percent of TRIO students are White, 36% are African American, 16% are Hispanic, 5% are Native American and 4% are Asian American. Sixteen thousand TRIO students are disabled. How It Works Over 1,200 colleges, universities and agencies now offer TRIO Programs in America. TRIO funds are distributed to institutions through competitive grants. Evidence Of Achievement The Council and the TRIO Community have consistently promoted evaluations of the TRIO programs. Three evaluations, each conducted under contract with the U.S. Department of Education, are currently underway: a WESTAT evaluation that examines the impact of Student Support Services on retention, hours completed

  • Barry Mcguire Has Led an Incredible Life, to Say the Least
    The Folk Club of Reston-Herndon Preserving the traditions of Folk Music, Folk Lore, and Gentle Folk Ways www.RestonHerndonFolkClub.com Volume 24, Issue 10 October 2008 October 14 Showcase – Dumb Muscle & the Divas By Dan Grove The Divas – “C” Culpepper, Ann Granger, and Mary Catherine (“MC”) Williams – are harmonizing singers with talent, attitude, and charm. They are accompanied by Dan (“Dumb Muscle”) Grove on guitar and bass. The group formed at the Folk Club in 2005. MC met Dan and Ann, and later introduced her neighbor C. They didn’t know what to call themselves, but when Nina Anmahian Lantis heard Dan say “You divas will have to figure it out, I’m just dumb muscle,” she said, “That’s it!” All three Divas have been singing their whole lives. MC sang in school and church groups all over the world, from Japan to the Ivory Coast and from Lebanon to Norway. C sang in bands as well as school and church groups, met her husband in a choir while in college, and teaches private voice lessons. MC and C also perform with Herndon’s Towne Square Singers. Ann sang to her kids and for herself, but hadn’t performed in public before her Folk Club debut three years ago (which is probably why she’s the only member of the group without a nickname – the audience is welcome to supply her with one!). Dan has been a Folk Club irregular for many years. He occasionally commits songwriting, and leads a monthly song critique for the Songwriters’ Association of Washington (SAW).
