The TRIO Program at Southeast is receiving a financial boost after a recent approval for an extra $20,000 to help students impacted by COVID-19.
TRIO Program director Valdis Zalite said Southeast requested the funding in early August to provide for students on campus who were financially impacted by COVID-19.
The request for the $20,000 allocation was supported by the Department of Education, according to Trent Ball, assistant vice president for Academic Diversity and Outreach.
