New Hampshire Congressional Delegation Calls on Trump Administration to Preserve Education Grants Supporting First-Generation and Disadvantaged Students

The Congressional delegation wrote, in part: "As members of the New Hampshire Congressional delegation and as strong supporters of TRIO, we write with serious concern over the Trump Administration's actions to weaken and divert the focus of the Federal TRIO programs away from college preparation, access, and success [...] Congress established TRIO in the 1960s with the intent of helping students from disadvantaged backgrounds complete high school, access postsecondary education, and graduate from college. TRIO invests in the potential that all students have to succeed in college and helps students and their families realize that potential by breaking down barriers to access and support."
