What TRIO Student Support Services - Disabilities at Fresno State does

TRIO Student Support Services - Disabilities at Fresno State is a federally funded student support program within the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management at California State University, Fresno (Fresno State). The program operates under the federal TRIO Student Support Services (TRIO SSS) grant from the U.S. Department of Education and delivers two service lines: TRIO Student Support Services (SSSP) for first-generation, low-income, and students with disabilities, and TRIO Student Support Services-Veterans (SSSV) for veterans, reservists, active-duty service members, National Guard members, and their dependents. All services are provided at no cost to eligible undergraduate students.

The program delivers a portfolio of human-delivered academic and support services, including tutoring, supplemental instruction, academic success coaching, financial aid literacy education, graduate school preparation, priority registration, accessibility accommodations and assistive technologies, counseling and wellness resources, and emergency grant aid. Service delivery runs through on-campus offices, the My Fresno State student portal, and faculty/academic advisor referrals. There is no proprietary technology stack; the program operates on standard university infrastructure.

The revenue model is grant-based rather than commercial. The program is funded by a federal TRIO grant from the U.S. Department of Education, with cost coverage provided through the California State University system rather than student fees or service charges. The program is governed by CSU Board of Trustees oversight, operates as a non-commercial cost center rather than a revenue-generating entity, and has approximately 7 staff. The go-to-market motion is event-driven and organic, anchored in university orientation, campus events, and academic advisor referrals.
