For TRIO Programs

TRIO programs change lives. Overgrad helps you prove it.

Built to support students. Built to prove impact.

Most tools stop at high school graduation. TRIO doesn’t, and neither do we. Every student’s record stays with your program, from middle school through postsecondary.

One platform, not a patchwork of tools

Advising notes in one system, participation in a spreadsheet, postsecondary outcomes somewhere else again.

What gets in the way
The same student gets copied between disconnected systems
Every reporting cycle starts from scratch
Postsecondary records lag, or tell an incomplete story
With Overgrad

One shared record, middle school through postsecondary.

Every case manager and outreach specialist works from the same student record, and the reports come out of the data you have already captured.

One student record 7th grade → degree conferred
  1. 7th grade Joined Upward Bound Eligibility and family contacts on the record
  2. 9th grade Interests surfaced Strengths and values named by the student
  3. 10th grade Summer program, 2 campus visits Attendance logged, counts toward reporting
  4. 11th grade College list built 8 schools compared on real cost
  5. 12th grade Enrolled FAFSA filed, 4 award letters compared
  6. Year 2 Persisted Clearinghouse sync, no outreach needed
  7. Year 5 Degree conferred Verified and counted in your APR

An illustrative record, not a real student. The span is the point: no handoff between systems, and nothing re-keyed at the end of the year.

Built for what TRIO has to prove

01 — Reporting

Reports that prove your program’s impact

Add your program’s own data and build the reports that show progress toward your goals. They are ready every reporting cycle, from what you have already captured in Overgrad.

  • Your own fields and measures alongside the standard ones
  • Progress toward program goals, not just activity counts
  • Ready each cycle without rebuilding the report
02 — Alumni

Your team knows these students best

Postsecondary records can lag or tell an incomplete story. Case managers add what they know to keep records current, and texting and email help you stay connected after high school.

  • Case managers update what the data misses
  • Texting and email logged on the student record
  • College, trade, or military, followed the same way

Also in the platform

Career exploration that starts with self-discovery

Students reflect on who they are and uncover the strengths, values, and sense of purpose that shape their career direction.

  • Activities, career videos, and interactive scenarios
  • Strengths and values surfaced by the student, not assigned to them

College and career planning that fits

Students discover and compare colleges, workforce programs, and certifications matched to their goals and interests.

  • Colleges, workforce programs, and certifications side by side
  • The real cost of each offer, before a family commits

Surveys and events, all in one place

Build and send your own surveys, invite students to career fairs, and track campus visit participation.

  • Your own surveys, sent and tracked in the platform
  • Attendance that counts toward your reporting

Every student. Every path. Every outcome.
