Traditional student support services project serving 300 students at the university of wisconsin-platteville

The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education awarded $453,244 to the University of Wisconsin-Platteville on September 1, 2026, under the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042) to deliver supportive services to 300 disadvantaged college students through August 31, 2027.

The project provides student support services designed to increase retention and graduation rates for low-income students, first-generation college students, students with disabilities, and other underrepresented and disconnected populations. Services aim to enhance financial and economic literacy, foster an institutional climate of support for limited English proficient students and historically underrepresented groups, and facilitate transfer from two-year to four-year institutions.

Performance occurs in Platteville, Wisconsin. The award is a single-year installment of a five-year grant period; continuation awards are approved annually subject to availability of funds and evidence of substantial progress toward project objectives.
