South Plains College received a $306,514 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 grant supports comprehensive student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students at the Levelland, Texas campus.

Under this award, South Plains College will deliver supportive services to low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities to increase student retention and graduation rates, improve academic potential and financial literacy, and facilitate student transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, the college will leverage this funding to provide targeted academic and mentoring support that enhances student success in postsecondary education and increases access to higher education for underrepresented populations.
