Bellevue College received a $306,514 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 Program (CFDA 84.042). This award funds the Bellevue College TRIO Project, which delivers comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities.

The funded initiative provides targeted support services to increase student retention and completion rates at Bellevue College's Bellevue, Washington campus. Core services under the program include academic advising, financial literacy instruction, and student success coaching aimed at improving academic potential and facilitating student progression through postsecondary education. The TRIO Program's emphasis on increasing transfer rates from two-year to four-year institutions aligns with Bellevue College's mission to support student success across diverse academic disciplines. As a public higher education institution with established experience administering federal grants, Bellevue College implements evidence-based practices to serve its target population and advance completion outcomes through this one-year project period.
