CRC trio SSS stem

Cosumnes River College, operating under the Los Rios Community College District, received a $272,364 Project Grant award from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education for the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) STEM program (CFDA 84.042). The award period runs from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with performance activities conducted at the Sacramento, California campus.

Under this award, the college delivers comprehensive supportive services specifically designed for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled in STEM-related postsecondary programs. The program provides academic tutoring, financial literacy education, and counseling to enhance student retention, graduation rates, and successful transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. By targeting disadvantaged student populations through specialized STEM support services, the grant directly supports the Department of Education's objective to increase postsecondary education access, affordability, and completion for underrepresented and at-risk student cohorts.
