Supporting future educators

The TRIO Future Educator Success Program (FESP) is designed to help eligible students excel at Western Michigan University (WMU) and in their P-12 teaching careers. Through a variety of activities, services, and opportunities on campus and in the community, our staff will provide information and resources to enhance student academic performance and cultivate financial literacy, career development, leadership development, and awareness of campus services and programming. Funded by a $260,000 annual grant from the U.S. Department of Education, TRIO FESP partners with the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) faculty and P-12 educational professionals to prepare them to fulfill their aspirations of becoming P-12 educators.
