✍️ What is the TRIO Writing Success Project (WSP)?

The Writing Success Project (WSP) is a TRIO student support services program linked to sections of English 88 up through English 1B and 1C.

WSP is designed for first-generation college students, low-income students, and students with disabilities. Each section offers a professional tutor who attends class and leads weekly study groups. Through WSP, students can receive academic counseling, help to apply for scholarships, transfer planning, career exploration, individual coaching, support with financial literacy, and other support to help students reach their goals.
