Our Program
Since 1974, Student Support Services (SSS) has been a tradition at Beloit College serving over 100 eligible students each year.   The program is designed to ensure the academic success and degree completion of our students by providing them with an array of services in a supportive community that embraces the philosophy “TRiO is family”.

Our Mission
Our mission, in line with Beloit College’s commitment to support its entire student body, is to open the doors of opportunity for our students while ensuring their academic and personal success.  SSS offers a supportive environment that celebrates the achievements of our students while assisting them with the individual challenges they may face. We are here to assist with all aspects of the college experience- from academic and personal coaching to financial literacy, cultural enrichment and career planning.  We are committed to providing students the tools, resources, and mindset necessary to be successful college students, responsible citizens, and strong leaders! 

"The Student Support Services program at Beloit College has provided me with a strong support network. Peers and staff alike work together to build a community through which each member is encouraged to excel in all aspect of life at Beloit.  Simply put, the SSS program has put me one step closer to my goals. I have never felt so encouraged in my ambitions."

"In the beginning TRiO meant nothing to me, it was just a word.  It didn't take me long to realize how amazing the program truly is. I was on campus with a family, and a support group. People who were willing to do as much as they could for me, at any point I needed it. Student Support Services has helped me become a more responsible individual. Instead of sitting down in the crowd, TRiO has given me the necessary tools, to stand up, and become who I want to be. SSS helped transition me into Beloit college, and it gave me another family."
