Trio student support services (SSS) program

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education awarded Northeast Lakeview College $272,364 under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042) effective September 25, 2025, through September 24, 2026. The program delivers comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance retention and graduation rates for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. Key services provided include on-campus tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and workshops that facilitate student success and transfer to four-year institutions.

As a minority-serving institution in Universal City, Texas, Northeast Lakeview College targets its SSS services toward disadvantaged and underrepresented student populations within the San Antonio area. The funding supports evidence-based interventions addressing financial literacy, academic persistence, and institutional transfer pathways. The five-year grant program operates through annual continuation awards contingent upon demonstrated progress toward stated objectives and availability of federal funds, positioning Northeast Lakeview College to sustain these student support initiatives through the initial funding period and beyond.
