- Abstract
This mixed-methods study served to better widerstand how collaboration between a TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program and a First-Year Seminar (FYS) affects first-generation students ' success during their first year at college. Quantitative analyses assessed differences between non-participants, FYS participants only, and TRIO/FYS participants (N = 2720) in first-term GPA and persistence. Compared to non-participants, TRIO/FYS participants had significantly higher GPAs (2.61 versus 2.S3) and persistence (22% difference). This group also had higher persistence (12% difference) compared to the FYS only participants. Focus groups provided students' voices to share how these programs addressed the challenges faced by first-generation college students.
