The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) received a $414,417 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042) for the period September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. This award funds comprehensive support services at CCRI's Warwick and Lincoln campuses designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities.

The TRIO SSS Program provides targeted interventions to increase student retention and graduation rates while facilitating transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. Through this funding, CCRI delivers supportive services that enhance academic potential, provide financial literacy education, and strengthen overall student success in higher education. The grant supports evidence-based programming that addresses barriers to completion and promotes successful degree attainment across the designated campus locations, consistent with the program's mission to expand postsecondary education access and affordability for underserved student populations.
