Our services are free to participants in the SSS TRiO program. SSS is designed to support motivated students while they earn an Associates Degree. Free services include:
SSS TRiO provides one-hour academic advising sessions. Students are welcome to see their advisor as much as needed during the semester. SSS Academic Advising is designed to work consistently with students and provide individualized attention to ensure the student's academic goals are being met.
SSS TRiO advisors guide students regarding the financial aid process and financial aid requirements, and filing the FAFSA in order to ensure sufficient financial support for students.
Be smart about your money. SSS TRiO provides information and workshops on how to budget your income, how to apply for scholarships, and how to support yourself through college.
Academic advisors assist SSS TRiO participants in the process of transferring in order to achieve a seamless transfer from Yavapai College to the university of the student's choice.
SSS TRiO sponsors trips to visit various campuses of the Arizona State universities. The campus visits are an opportunity for students to visit a school they may be interested in attending.
SSS TRiO provides individual tutoring for the students in our program. Students must first be accepted into the program.
Mentoring is designed to help students become acclimated to college life and be better informed of the services available to college students.
SSS TRiO has TI83 graphing calculators that student participants may borrow for the entire semester if they are enrolled in the appropriate math class. SSS also has laptop computers that students may borrow to use for class work.
In the spring semester, SSS TRiO offers a scholarship to eligible students. The program requires a completed application and participation in the program in order to be eligible for the scholarship.
Workshops are meant to give you tools for success in college. Topics include study skills, time management, money management, organization, test taking and stress management, and scholarship letter writing.
Cultural activities give balance to your academic work and encourage you to network with other SSS participants. Activities, held both on campus and off-campus, give awareness of the rich culture of Arizona and the cultures of the world.
With Academic Success Workshops,
you can learn valuable tips and skills
toward your academic success.
