Project Grant P042A250308

This $351,954 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (CFDA 84.042) program will provide comprehensive student support services to disadvantaged students at Hopkinsville Community College. The goal is to increase retention, graduation, and transfer rates for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution. Specific services to be delivered through this 5-year grant period include academic assistance, financial literacy training, and initiatives to foster a supportive institutional climate for student success. As the sub-awardee, Hopkinsville Community College will utilize this federal funding to sustain and expand its existing student support programming, building on its track record of leveraging over $18M in prior Department of Education grants to respond to the impacts of COVID-19 on its operations and student population.
