LOS angeles city college student support services

Los Angeles City College received a $348,514 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) effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. This award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution. The program delivers targeted interventions to increase student retention and graduation rates, improve academic potential and financial literacy, and facilitate successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions.

The SSS Program provides Los Angeles City College with resources to implement evidence-based student support services that address barriers to postsecondary completion. Services typically include academic advising, tutoring, financial literacy counseling, and transfer planning assistance. By supporting vulnerable student populations with comprehensive wraparound services, the grant enables the college to strengthen overall student success metrics and educational pathways while advancing institutional completion goals aligned with the federal program's objectives of expanding postsecondary access and affordability for disadvantaged students.
