John a. Logan college SSS project FY25-30

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education awarded John A. Logan College $338,734 under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042) on September 1, 2025, with a completion date of August 31, 2026. This Project Grant funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance student retention, graduation rates, and academic success for disadvantaged populations, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. The college delivers these services at its Carterville, Illinois campus, where SSS program staff provide academic advising, financial literacy instruction, tutoring, and other supportive interventions to help at-risk students successfully complete their postsecondary education and facilitate transfers from two-year to four-year institutions.

As a public educational institution with extensive experience in workforce development and student support programming, John A. Logan College leverages this federal SSS funding to strengthen its institutional capacity to serve vulnerable student populations and increase postsecondary completion rates. The one-year funding cycle represents the college's continuation award under the TRIO SSS Program, which operates on a five-year grant period with annual approval of continuation awards subject to satisfactory performance and progress toward established project objectives.
