CRC trio SSS classic

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education awarded Los Rios Community College District (operating as Cosumnes River College) a TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Project Grant in the amount of $272,364, effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. Under CFDA 84.042, this grant 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 Sacramento, California institution.

The program delivers targeted academic and financial support services to increase student retention, graduation rates, and transfer rates from two-year to four-year institutions. Specific services include academic tutoring, financial literacy education, and counseling designed to strengthen student academic potential and overall success in higher education. By providing these supportive services, the grant directly addresses systemic barriers to educational access and completion for underrepresented and disadvantaged student populations at Cosumnes River College.
