Montana State University student Faith Droszcz calls the TRIO Student Support Services program at MSU her lifeline, one that has provided a number of tools to help her succeed.

“To me, TRIO is a lot of things,” said Droszcz, a sophomore from Sacramento, California, studying agriculture education and broadfield teaching. “It’s stopping for a quick snack in between classes and work and saying hi to a few familiar faces for a pick-me-up. It’s sitting down and asking questions about absolutely anything – financial aid, classes, mental health, life. The list goes on.”
