In September 2010, the University of Memphis was awarded a second TRiO program specifically for 120 eligible students who are enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) majors at the U of M.  TRiO STEM participants must meet the eligibility standards during their university years. 

The program is very competitive with a limited number of openings each year to maintain 120 participants. The STEM Program is housed in 405 Mitchell Hall. Mr. Manuel Thompson is the Project Coordinator for the TRiO STEM project.

Applications to apply for the program are available in the Student Success Program offices or on the SSP website.
