Cameron university, student support services

Cameron University received a $958,213 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042). The award funds a one-year project period concluding August 31, 2026, to provide comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance retention, graduation, and transfer rates for disadvantaged college students.

Under this grant, Cameron University will deliver on-campus tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and educational workshops targeting low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities. The Student Support Services program aims to increase the number of disadvantaged students who successfully complete postsecondary education programs and facilitate their transfer from two-year to four-year institutions. The services will also foster an institutional climate supporting success for limited English proficient students, historically underrepresented student populations, and other disconnected students, while improving financial and economic literacy outcomes.
