Rogue Community College District received a $306,514 Project Grant award from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. The grant supports comprehensive student support services designed to enhance retention, graduation rates, and academic outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the college's Grants Pass, Oregon campus.

The funded services include academic advising and tutoring, financial literacy training, and transfer support to facilitate student progression from two-year to four-year institutions. Through this award, Rogue Community College District will expand its capacity to serve low-income and underrepresented students in rural Southern Oregon, addressing critical educational access and completion gaps in the Jackson and Josephine counties region. The one-year grant period aligns with the standard TRIO SSS funding cycle, supporting the college's ongoing commitment to improving postsecondary education access and student success outcomes.
