The University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville (UACCB) received a Project Grant award of $272,364 from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education, effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The award funds the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042), which provides comprehensive support services to disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. Through this one-year funding cycle, UACCB delivers supportive services designed to enhance student academic potential, increase retention and graduation rates, and facilitate transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions.

The program delivers targeted interventions in academic advising, financial literacy, and student success programming to address the educational needs of the student populations served at UACCB's Batesville, Arkansas campus. As a continuation of UACCB's demonstrated commitment to supporting disadvantaged populations, this SSS award enables the college to provide the infrastructure and services necessary to improve postsecondary education access, affordability, and completion outcomes for eligible student cohorts enrolled in the institution's programs.
