Westminster campus frcc trio SSS project

Front Range Community College (FRCC) received a $272,364 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). The Westminster Campus TRIO SSS Project delivers comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance academic success and increase completion rates for disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at FRCC's Westminster campus location.

The grant funds services that address barriers to postsecondary education completion through academic support, financial literacy instruction, and retention-focused interventions. The program's objectives align with federal SSS program goals: increasing student retention and graduation rates, facilitating transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions, and improving overall student potential for successful degree completion. As a child grant under the larger TRIO SSS initiative, this award supports FRCC's established mission of serving diverse student populations and removing educational obstacles for underrepresented populations seeking to advance their academic and career opportunities.
