Montgomery college rockville regular student support services program

Montgomery College received a $286,109 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) for the period September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. This award supports the Montgomery College Rockville Regular Student Support Services Program, which delivers comprehensive supportive services to disadvantaged college students at the Rockville, Maryland campus. The program is designed to enhance student potential for successfully completing postsecondary education, increase retention and graduation rates, and facilitate transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, with particular focus on low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities.

The funded initiative provides services including academic advising, financial literacy education, and student success programming to improve overall postsecondary education outcomes for the targeted student population. As a public two-year institution with an established track record of federal grant engagement, Montgomery College leverages this SSS funding to expand educational access and completion rates for disadvantaged students in Montgomery County, Maryland, consistent with the broader TRIO program objectives of increasing postsecondary education access, affordability, and completion.
