Umpqua Community College received a $333,629 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). The award supports the delivery of comprehensive student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities at the Roseburg, Oregon campus.

Under this award, Umpqua Community College will provide services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates, facilitating transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and improving academic potential and financial literacy among participating students. The TRIO SSS Program focuses on removing barriers to postsecondary education completion and success for underrepresented student populations, with continuation awards determined annually based on the institution's progress toward meeting project objectives and compliance with grant conditions.
