Edmonds College Student Support Services Program Award Summary

Edmonds College received a $286,107 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. This award supports the delivery of comprehensive student support services at the college's Lynnwood, Washington campus designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities.

Through this funding, Edmonds College will provide targeted supportive services aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates while facilitating transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. The program delivers core services including academic advising, financial literacy education, and other student success initiatives that enhance academic potential and overall college completion. As a public community college with a demonstrated commitment to serving underserved populations, Edmonds College leverages SSS funding to strengthen educational access and completion for its most vulnerable student populations within the institution's broader workforce development and educational mission.
