Student support services

Midwestern State University received a $272,364 Project Grant award from the 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 support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities. The program delivers targeted interventions to increase student retention and graduation rates, improve academic performance, enhance financial literacy, and facilitate successful transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions.

The services provided through this grant are delivered at Midwestern State University's campus in Wichita Falls, Texas. As a public university with an established track record of supporting underserved student populations through federal funding, the institution utilizes this award to strengthen its commitment to student success and educational access. The one-year project period supports the university's ongoing efforts to remove barriers to postsecondary completion and advance the academic potential of disadvantaged students enrolled in its programs.
