Plymouth academic support services

Plymouth State University, operating through the University System of New Hampshire, received a $371,912 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). The award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged college students, including low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities. The program delivers services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates, facilitating successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and improving academic potential and financial literacy for participating students.

The SSS Program at Plymouth State University provides direct support to help disadvantaged students successfully complete their postsecondary education programs and transition to four-year institutions where applicable. As a continuation award under the TRIO Programs framework, this grant represents Plymouth State University's ongoing commitment to student success initiatives and aligns with the institution's broader focus on supporting educational access and completion for underrepresented populations in higher education.
