Cusj's student support services program

Federal Grant Award Summary

Colegio Universitario De San Juan received a $400,841 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The institution will deliver comprehensive student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities.

The Student Support Services Program funding will enable Colegio Universitario De San Juan to provide targeted supportive services that increase student retention and graduation rates, improve academic and professional development, and facilitate transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. These services encompass academic advising, financial literacy instruction, and holistic student success initiatives. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution located in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the institution is well-positioned to serve its disadvantaged student population through this federally-funded initiative, with continuation funding available on an annual basis contingent upon demonstrated progress toward program objectives.
