If a trust states that I am entitled to 1/3 of my trust at a certain age but recieved some money a year before that age, am I still entitled to the 1/3 when of age?

The trust says that trustee can distribute money to beneficiary if need for health, education, mainetance and support. Then under that it says at age 25 I am entitled to 1/3 of my trust. So what I was given last year I consider my trustee giving me money out of my trust for support and education so aren’t instill entitled to my 1/3?

Based upon the fact pattern that you have written about the early distribution that you received under the trust seemingly would not preclude you from getting one-third of the remaining balance by your twenty-fifth (25th) birthday assuming that the trust's language has nothing mentioning offsets for an early distribution.
