Student support services project

Coconino Community College District received a $272,364 Project Grant award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). This award funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance retention, graduation rates, and academic success for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution's Flagstaff, Arizona campus.

The Student Support Services Project delivers targeted interventions including academic advising, financial literacy education, and student success coaching to increase postsecondary completion and facilitate transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. As a minority institution and state-controlled higher education provider serving northern Arizona, Coconino Community College leverages this funding to address educational barriers for disadvantaged student populations and support regional workforce development through enhanced access to higher education and degree attainment.
