Truckee meadows community college student support services program

Truckee Meadows Community College, operating under the Nevada System of Higher Education, received a $272,364 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education for the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). The award, effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. The program delivers targeted interventions to increase student retention and graduation rates while facilitating successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions.

The funded services encompass academic support, financial literacy education, and student success initiatives that strengthen the academic potential and overall postsecondary completion rates of participating students. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution in Reno, Nevada, the College leverages this funding to serve underrepresented populations and support educational access and affordability for economically disadvantaged students. The grant operates under a one-year performance period with potential for continuation awards based on demonstrated progress toward program objectives and achievement of stated goals.
