Adams state university student support services

Adams State University received a $306,511 Project Grant award 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 comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities at the institution's Alamosa, Colorado campus.

The funded program delivers integrated student support services with primary objectives of increasing student retention and graduation rates, improving academic potential, enhancing financial literacy, and facilitating institutional transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution serving the rural San Luis Valley region, Adams State University will leverage this funding to support underrepresented and disadvantaged student populations, with particular emphasis on first-generation college students and individuals from diverse backgrounds, thereby strengthening their capacity to successfully complete their postsecondary education programs.
