Greetings!

I have been in TRiO for many years and I have heard several ways students can prove they have a documented disability. What is the best answer? Can students provide their own documentation or must they go through Accessibility Services?

Hello! My university was granted the TRIO SSS grant and I was just hired mid-February as Director of the program. There are so many questions I have as a I feel like I am starting behind. Can you provide the best trainings that I should be signing up for and watching first? Next, our budget has been submitted twice prior to me being hired. Through discussions with directors, there are a lot of changes that seem necessary. Is it appropriate to ask my program specialist to review and approve a new budget? Also, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello! Could someone please provide guidance on which Code of Federal Regulations section covers allowable costs for memberships such as COE and NAEOP? When I submit a purchase request, I like to include a direct CFR citation that supports the expense. For this particular situation, the only citation that seems somewhat relevant is 34 CFR 646.30(c) regarding in‑service training of project staff, but I’m not sure this is the correct one to use. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
