Guiding alamance forward with student support services

Alamance Community College received a $272,364 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042) for the period September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. The award funds the "Guiding Alamance Forward with Student Support Services" initiative, which provides comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance retention, graduation rates, and academic success for disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at Alamance Community College in Graham, North Carolina.

The Student Support Services program delivers targeted interventions to increase postsecondary education access and completion, facilitating student transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. Through this funding, Alamance Community College implements evidence-based support services that strengthen academic potential, financial literacy, and overall student success outcomes for its most vulnerable student populations, consistent with the college's institutional commitment to supporting underrepresented and disadvantaged populations through federal grant-funded initiatives.
