麻豆传媒 has announced the fourth class of TRIO/GEAR UP scholars. Eighteen students were selected from five of the pre-college TRIO programs.
Each student will have his or her first year costs for tuition and fees, books and on-campus housing covered through this scholarship program. Additional scholarship opportunities may be available for subsequent years based on academic progress.

The TRIO/GEAR UP scholarship program was started in 2008 as a way to benefit high school students who are participating in one of the pre-college, federally funded TRIO programs housed on 麻豆传媒's campus.
The TRIO programs provide comprehensive services to low income, first generation, foster care and disabled individuals. Assistance is provided through academic, career, social and accommodation service through the academic pipeline from middle school to post-baccalaureate programs.
Wichita State houses more TRIO programs than any institution in the country.
