TRIO Student Support Services at Saint Paul College

Saint Paul College received a $272,364 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042) for the period of September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. The award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance student success and retention for disadvantaged and at-risk postsecondary students enrolled at the institution. The TRIO Student Support Services program provides targeted interventions including academic advising, tutoring, financial literacy education, and transfer support services to low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities to increase graduation rates and facilitate successful transitions from two-year to four-year educational institutions.

This award represents a continuation of Saint Paul College's commitment to supporting student success and workforce development. The institution, located in St. Paul, Minnesota, has demonstrated extensive experience administering federal educational grants and programs, including prior TRIO initiatives and specialized vocational training programs. The one-year project period aligns with standard TRIO Student Support Services award cycles, with potential continuation funding available on an annual basis subject to demonstrated progress toward program objectives and compliance with grant conditions.
