The Butte-Glenn Community College District received a $272,364 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education on September 25, 2025, under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) program (CFDA 84.042). The award supports a one-year project period through September 24, 2026, and funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance retention, graduation, and transfer rates for disadvantaged college students, including low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities at Butte College in Oroville, California.

Under this award, the college will deliver on-campus academic support services encompassing tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and targeted workshops to increase academic success and economic literacy among eligible student populations. The SSS program emphasizes creating an institutional climate that supports students historically underrepresented in postsecondary education, including limited English proficient students and other disconnected student populations. This award represents one component of the institution's ongoing federal TRIO grant portfolio, which also includes specialized STEM-focused workforce development initiatives, reflecting the college district's commitment to educational access and skill development in northern California.
