North Shore Community College received a $591,433 Project Grant from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The program will deliver comprehensive supportive services to disadvantaged students enrolled at the college's Danvers and Lynn, Massachusetts campuses, with the primary objective of enhancing student retention and graduation rates while supporting academic and career goal achievement.

The Student Support Services program targets low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities by providing services designed to increase postsecondary education completion and facilitate transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, North Shore Community College will leverage this award to support its diverse student population, including middle and low-income students and immigrants, through evidence-based interventions focused on improving academic potential, financial literacy, and overall student success in higher education.
