What is TRiO?

Quinsigamond Community College's TRIO program, FAST FORWARD, is a federally funded program that provides first generation, economically disadvantaged college students, and students with disabilities the support and services needed to achieve academic success.   The program is funded to serve 140 students.  There is an application process!
