Murray state university student support services

Murray State University received a $327,836 Project Grant award from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042) for the period September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. This award supports comprehensive student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities at the institution's Murray, Kentucky campus.

The funded program delivers supportive services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates, improving academic potential and financial literacy, and facilitating successful degree completion and transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. These services are provided directly to eligible students through Murray State University's Student Support Services initiative, with the goal of enhancing student success and removing barriers to postsecondary education completion among the institution's disadvantaged student population.
