TRIO Dissertations

The Pell Institute serves as an information resource for policymakers and researchers. As part of our greater mission to facilitate dialogue and disseminate research regarding access to higher education, Pell offers this list of dissertations that focus on Federal TRIO Programs.

This resource presents the APA citation information and links to various dissertations that have been written about each Federal TRIO program or generally across the TRIO landscape from 1990-2021. This compendium is helpful for practitioners, researchers, and doctoral students interested in best practices for supporting first-generation, low-income, disabled, or veteran students to achieve post-secondary success.

If you have earned your terminal degree with expertise in TRIO in recent years and you do not see your dissertation listed in this resource, please contact us.
