The Student Support Services program provides targeted interventions including academic support, financial literacy, transfer facilitation from two-year to four-year institutions, and services for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. Through this grant, Morehouse College will implement these services at its Atlanta, Georgia campus to increase student success and completion potential. As a Historically Black College and University, Morehouse's STEM-focused program aligns with the federal program's objective to enhance educational outcomes and increase postsecondary education access and completion for underrepresented student populations in higher education and scientific fields.
