By engaging the students early on, this will create a potential win-win situation for all stakeholders (students, parents, Rogal College and secondary education). These goals can be accomplished by implementing a TRIO program on the campus of Rogal College.
The Federal TRIO Programs (TRIO) are Federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. TRIO includes eight programs targeted to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to post baccalaureate programs. TRIO also includes a training program for directors and staff of TRIO projects. (U.S. Department of Education, 2016).

This program will afford Rogal the opportunity to grow and provide high school students with a solid foundation in becoming a career and college ready applicant. The TRIO program has a grant application process. The application process begins in February and ends in April the year before
