Crowder College, through its Nevada Campus location, received a $272,364 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042) for the period of September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. This award funds comprehensive student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes and increase student retention and completion rates. The program specifically targets low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities, providing academic advising, financial literacy instruction, and other supportive services to strengthen student success in higher education.

Under this grant, Crowder College will deliver services that support disadvantaged students in successfully completing their postsecondary education programs and facilitating transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. As part of a broader TRIO SSS initiative, Crowder College operates multiple campus-based programs across Southwest Missouri (including Nevada, Webb City, and Cassville locations), collectively receiving $816,492 in SSS funding for the same award period. These services represent the college's commitment to expanding postsecondary access and affordability for vulnerable student populations through federally-supported programming.
