Long beach city college student support services regular project

The Long Beach City College Student Support Services Regular Project received a $286,109 award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042). This project grant funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance educational outcomes for disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at Long Beach City College.

The award provides resources to deliver evidence-based student support services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates while facilitating successful transfers from the two-year institution to four-year universities. Services under this program typically include academic advising, financial literacy training, personal counseling, and mentorship activities that strengthen students' academic potential and overall success in postsecondary education. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, Long Beach City College will leverage this funding to support its diverse student population and advance completion outcomes within the Long Beach community.
