The Office of Postsecondary Education awarded SUNY Oswego $272,364 through the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042) on September 25, 2025, with performance through September 24, 2026. This Project Grant funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance academic success and degree completion for disadvantaged college students, including low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities. The program delivers on-campus tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and student development workshops intended to increase retention and graduation rates and facilitate transfer from two-year to four-year institutions.

The award supports services targeting approximately 100-300 students annually at SUNY Oswego, with particular focus on fostering an institutional climate that supports success for underrepresented populations, limited English-proficient students, and other disconnected student populations. The services also emphasize improved financial and economic literacy among participants. This award represents part of a five-year grant cycle, with continuation funding subject to annual review based on institutional progress toward stated objectives and fund availability.
