Universidad adventista DE LAS antillas - SSS regular

Universidad Adventista De Las Antillas received a $272,364 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 student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution's Mayagüez, Puerto Rico campus.

Under this award, the university will deliver targeted supportive services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates while facilitating successful academic progress. The SSS Program services include academic advising, financial literacy education, and other developmental support activities designed to enhance student potential for successfully completing postsecondary education programs and improving transfer rates from two-year to four-year institutions. These services align with the program's federal mandate to provide supportive interventions that increase educational access and completion for underrepresented student populations, with particular emphasis on the institution's minority and Hispanic-serving student populations.
