Glen Oaks Community College received a $272,364 Project Grant award from the Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. The grant funds academic and support services designed to enhance college completion and transfer rates for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and disabled populations. Services delivered under this award include tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and student workshops targeted at increasing retention and successful progression through postsecondary education programs.

This award represents the College's continuation of its Student Support Services program, which has previously served 140 disadvantaged students under Department of Education funding. The College will deliver services at its Centreville, Michigan campus. As a non-profit, state-controlled institution, Glen Oaks Community College leverages federal TRIO funding to expand educational access and support for its student population, aligning with the broader federal objective of improving outcomes for underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students in higher education.
