TRIO works. These programs must remain focused on expanding college access and success for low-income, first-generation students. #ProtectTRIO

Bipartisan action to protect TRIO. Sens. Collins @SenSusanCollins (R-ME) and Warnock @SenatorWarnock (D-GA) are leading colleagues in calling on ED to withdraw and revise the FY26 Talent Search & EOC applications. https://t.co/0pm5ZKpR6D #TRIOWorks #ProtectTRIO

The concern: proposed changes shift TRIO’s mission and could disadvantage current grantees while risking funding lapses for students who depend on these programs.

🚨 NEW: COE is sounding the alarm on the FY 2026 Talent Search proposal.

This isn’t a routine policy shift—it’s a fundamental change to TRIO’s mission.

This isn’t just about one program.

It signals a broader shift in how—and whether—students are supported on the path to college.

📢 Congress must act.
