Welcome to the TRIO Writing Success Project

Students at First-Gen Celebration

The Writing Success Project is a TRIO Student Support Services program supporting first-generation college students who have financial need, and students with disabilities.

Read what participants have to say about how TRIO has helped them at CCSF.

Students in the TRIO WSP receive help applying for scholarships, planning their transfer pathway, exploring careers, developing financial literacy, and connecting with an inspiring community of peers.
