ST. Louis community college florissant valley - trio student supportive services

St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley received a $286,089 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042). This award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, specifically targeting low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the Florissant Valley campus in Hazelwood, Missouri.

The funded services deliver academic support and student success programming that increase retention and graduation rates while facilitating student transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. Core service components include academic advising, financial literacy training, and holistic student support designed to improve academic potential and overall postsecondary completion outcomes. As a public community college institution serving the St. Louis metropolitan region, the college leverages this federal funding as part of its broader commitment to workforce development and accessible higher education for diverse student populations in the region.
