Moore county campus students achieving success

Amarillo College received a $221,085 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). This award funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance student retention, academic success, and transfer outcomes for disadvantaged populations at the college's Moore County Campus located in Amarillo, Texas. The program provides targeted interventions for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities, focusing on improving academic potential, financial literacy, and overall postsecondary completion rates.

The SSS Program delivers essential student support services including academic advising, tutoring, financial literacy education, and transfer assistance designed to facilitate student progression through higher education. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution and state-controlled institution of higher learning, Amarillo College leverages this federal funding to strengthen its capacity to serve diverse student populations and increase successful degree completion and transfer rates from two-year to four-year institutions.
