History Groups was established in 1968 to address low college attendance rates among first-generation, low-income, and physically challenged students at Indiana University. Funded by the Higher Education Act of 1965, and supported by the university's strong commitment of additional resources and services, Groups admits more than 200 students each year and has an alumni roster of close to 9,000. It is just one of the more than 2,000 federal TRIO programs serving 725,000 students across the country with funds distributed through competitive grants.
Groups is committed to supporting each student in the program, to seeing that they remain in college, and to giving them the tools necessary to earn their degrees. Through financial aid counseling, academic mentoring services, and self exploration, Groups helps students realize their full potential.
