Aims community college trio SSS regular program

Aims Community College received a $286,109 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution. Services delivered through this grant focus on increasing student retention and graduation rates, facilitating successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and improving academic potential and financial literacy among the student populations served.

The TRIO SSS Program provides evidence-based interventions and academic support to help participating students successfully complete their postsecondary education programs. Aims Community College will utilize the funding to expand access to these supportive services at its Evans, Colorado campus, reinforcing the institution's commitment to serving underrepresented student populations and supporting educational opportunities within the region.
