A community approach to student success

Touro University received a $583,379 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Higher Education Institutional Aid program (CFDA 84.031), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The award funds "A Community Approach to Student Success," an initiative designed to strengthen institutional capacity and enhance student support services. The project aligns with the program's statutory mission to help eligible colleges and universities strengthen management and fiscal operations while developing activities that improve academic quality and support student retention and success.

Under this award, Touro University implements institutional strengthening and student support services that contribute to overall institutional development. The Higher Education Institutional Aid program distributes predominantly Project Grants to eligible public and private institutions, with funding directed toward capacity-building activities including academic quality improvements, student retention initiatives, and support services targeting low-income and first-generation undergraduates. This award represents one of five grants Touro University currently holds from the Office of Postsecondary Education.
