The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire received a $468,604 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). This award funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged college students, including low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution.

The SSS program at UW-Eau Claire delivers targeted interventions to increase student retention and graduation rates, improve academic potential, and facilitate successful degree completion. Services encompass academic advising, tutoring, financial literacy education, and transfer support for students progressing from two-year to four-year institutions. As a one-year project award within the five-year grant program cycle, this funding supports the continuation of UW-Eau Claire's established SSS initiative, with annual continuation subject to demonstrated progress toward program objectives and availability of federal funds.
