Abstract
According to the Council for Opportunity, the Federal TRIO Programs assist nearly 875,000 low-income students ranging from sixth-grade through adult education from disadvantaged backgrounds (first-generation college, low-income or underrepresented students, or students with disabilities) throughout their academic development. Participating students coming from different cultural and racial backgrounds: 39 percent are White, 36 percent are African American, 16 percent are Hispanic, 5 percent are Native American, 4 percent are Asian American, and 16,000 TRIO students who have disabilities. This case study advocates for and details a comprehensive support model and initiatives to provide intentional assistance and services to TRIO-granted and TRIO-eligible multicultural multilingual students. Findings from Academic Support administrators, staff, and students' interviews supported an interculturally-oriented integrated model via the provision of mentorship, tutoring, fostering cultural awareness, and capitalizing on students' linguistic and cultural resources to boost academic performance and retention. The study suggests ways to leverage a university's capabilities to cultivate the program's inclusive learning environment that honors and respects students' diverse cultural and language viewpoints.
