Dacc trio/student support services project

Danville Area Community College received a $348,514 Project Grant award dated September 1, 2025, through the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042). The award will support comprehensive student support services through August 31, 2026, designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution. The program delivers essential supportive services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates, improving academic potential and financial literacy, and facilitating student transfers from two-year to four-year institutions.

The funded initiative provides direct support services to disadvantaged students at DACC's Danville, Illinois campus to help them successfully complete their postsecondary education programs. These services address the academic, financial, and personal support needs of targeted student populations, thereby enhancing their potential for educational success and advancement in higher education pathways.
