| Student Support Services for ELI Students (SSS) |
| The nation has asserted a commitment
to providing educational opportunities for all Americans, regardless
of their race, ethnic background or economic circumstance. In
support of that commitment, Congress established a series of
programs to help low-income Americans enter college and graduate.
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). The purpose of the ASCC Student Support
Services/ ELI Program is to provide academic support services
each year to 150 limited-English proficiency students who meet
the federal eligibility criteria. The program enables these
students to gain the knowledge and skills necessary for them
to pursue the full range of academic and career options. To
date, the program has enjoyed a 75% success rate. |
