This award supports comprehensive student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, specifically targeting low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution.

The funded program delivers supportive services and academic enhancements aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates, improving financial literacy, and facilitating student transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. By providing wrap-around support services and educational enhancement programming, the Student Support Services initiative seeks to strengthen the academic potential and overall success of participating students in their postsecondary education programs. This award is part of a broader federal investment in supporting Hispanic-Serving Institutions and other higher education providers in increasing postsecondary education access, affordability, and completion for disadvantaged student populations.
