Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally-funded TRIO program that provides opportunities for academic development, assists students in meeting basic college requirements, and serves to motivate students towards the successful completion of their post-secondary education. Although each program is different, we all have the same purpose: to retain and graduate the students we serve. This grant has been 100% federally funded by the United States Department of Education to serve 160 participants annually in the amount of $275,105 per year for a period of five years.
