Student support services

Nevada State University received a $272,364 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) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the Henderson, Nevada campus. Key services delivered through this funding include academic support, financial literacy education, student retention initiatives, and transfer facilitation assistance aimed at increasing graduation rates and supporting student transitions from two-year to four-year institutions.

As a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander-serving institution, Nevada State University leverages this SSS funding to strengthen academic potential and overall student success for underrepresented populations. The program represents part of the institution's broader portfolio of federal grants focused on student support services and educational access, contributing to regional workforce development and improved educational opportunities for disadvantaged student populations.
