Neumann university trio student support services

Neumann University received a $272,364 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 (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). This award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance academic success and persistence for disadvantaged college students, specifically targeting low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution's Aston, Pennsylvania campus.

The grant supports services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates, improving academic potential, strengthening financial literacy competencies, and facilitating student transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. Through this one-year project period, Neumann University will deliver structured student support services that address the barriers disadvantaged students face in completing their postsecondary education, ultimately working toward increased completion rates and successful educational outcomes for the targeted student population.
