Student support services

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock received a $444,647 Project Grant from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042) for the period September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. This award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance educational outcomes for disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution.

The funded program delivers targeted interventions to increase student retention and graduation rates while facilitating successful degree completion. Key services include academic support, financial literacy education, and student success coaching to help participants strengthen their academic potential and progress toward degree attainment. The SSS Program operates with a focus on improving postsecondary completion outcomes and transfer rates from two-year to four-year institutions, with continuation awards made annually subject to demonstrated progress toward program objectives.
