Kellogg community college student support services program

Kellogg Community College received a $436,805 Project Grant 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. This award funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities at the college's Battle Creek, Michigan campus.

The grant supports the delivery of targeted student support services aimed at increasing retention and graduation rates while facilitating student transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. Services encompass academic advising, financial literacy education, and other supportive interventions designed to improve student success and academic potential. The one-year project period allows the college to implement and sustain programming that addresses the specific educational needs of its disadvantaged student population, consistent with the broader TRIO SSS Program objectives of expanding postsecondary education access and completion.
