Trio student support services

Trocaire College 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 supportive services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities at the College's Buffalo, NY location.

The SSS program delivers targeted interventions to increase student retention and graduation rates while improving academic potential and financial literacy among vulnerable student populations. Services encompass academic advising, tutoring, mentoring, and transfer assistance to facilitate student progression from two-year to four-year institutions. Through this one-year project period, Trocaire College will implement evidence-based support mechanisms to strengthen student success and expand educational access for disadvantaged learners enrolled in the institution's postsecondary programs.
