Beloit takes great pride in being one of the select few Liberal Arts colleges in the US that offers three TRiO programs on campus: Upward Bound for high school students; Student Support Services for current Beloit students; and McNair Scholars for Beloit students intending to pursue a doctoral degree.

History
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”.

Mission
Our mission, in line with Beloit College’s commitment to supporting 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 with the tools, resources, and mindsets necessary to be successful college students, responsible citizens, and strong leaders!
