TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) and Support Services for Students with Disabilities (SSSD) Project mission is to increase the persistence, graduation, and transfer rates of first-generation and low-income students, and students with disabilities at Lake Washington Institute of Technology. Our goal is to empower students toward self-advocacy and self-sufficiency. We encourage students to complete their degree or certificate and transfer to a four-year college where possible. We do this by providing support services such as: One-on-one Tutoring Academic advising and planning Student Success appointments Financial aid and Financial literacy education Staff mentoring Transfer and Career planning We strive to make college a rewarding and successful experience for our students.
