LSC-North Harris Student Support Services Program

Lone Star College System's North Harris Division received a $280,908 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). This award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged college students, specifically targeting low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution. The program delivers services intended to increase student retention and graduation rates, facilitate successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and improve academic potential and financial literacy among participating students.

The North Harris Division will utilize the grant funding to implement evidence-based support services that enhance student success in their enrolled postsecondary education programs. As part of the broader TRIO initiative, the program provides wraparound services addressing the multifaceted barriers faced by disadvantaged students, contributing to the College's strategic commitment to expanding educational opportunities and supporting underserved communities across the greater Houston metropolitan area.
