Navarro college - trio student support services

Navarro College received a $463,433 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The program provides comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance academic outcomes and increase persistence for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the Corsicana, Texas institution. Core services delivered through this funding include academic advising, financial literacy programming, and student success coaching aimed at improving retention and graduation rates while facilitating transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions.

As a public two-year college with demonstrated capacity in implementing federal educational support initiatives, Navarro College will utilize these funds to expand access to postsecondary education opportunities and support student completion outcomes within its student population. The SSS program operates on a five-year grant period with annual continuation awards subject to fund availability and evidence of progress toward project objectives, positioning the college to sustain and potentially expand these supportive services beyond the initial award period.
