Pensacola state college student support services program

Pensacola State College received a $394,365 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 September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. The award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance educational outcomes for disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution. The program delivers targeted interventions aimed at increasing student retention and graduation rates while facilitating successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions.

The Student Support Services Program provides academic advising, financial literacy education, tutoring, and career counseling services that strengthen students' academic potential and overall success in postsecondary education. Through this award, Pensacola State College will implement services that address the barriers faced by disadvantaged student populations, thereby enhancing their potential for successful program completion. The one-year project period is part of a larger federal grant framework where continuation awards may be approved annually based on demonstrated progress toward project objectives and available funding.
