Weber state university student support services stem program

Weber State University received a $272,364 Project Grant awarded on September 1, 2025, by the Office of Postsecondary Education to support its TRIO Student Support Services (CFDA 84.042) STEM program through August 31, 2026. The program delivers comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance academic outcomes and increase persistence rates for disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines at the institution. Services typically encompass academic advising, tutoring, financial literacy education, and student success initiatives aimed at improving retention and graduation rates while facilitating transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions.

This award supports Weber State University's commitment to expanding postsecondary education access and completion for underrepresented populations in STEM fields. The one-year funding period aligns with the standard TRIO Student Support Services grant cycle, with continuation funding subject to institutional performance and satisfactory progress toward achieving measurable student success objectives.
