College of the Redwoods received a $272,364 Project Grant award dated September 1, 2025, from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). The grant funds comprehensive student support services at the Eureka, California campus through August 31, 2026, designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities.

The funded program delivers integrated academic, financial, and social support services aimed at increasing student retention, graduation rates, and successful transfer from two-year to four-year institutions. Services encompass academic advising, financial literacy education, and personalized student success interventions that strengthen participants' academic potential and overall completion outcomes in higher education. As a community college serving Northern California's coastal region, College of the Redwoods leverages SSS funding to expand equitable access to postsecondary education for underrepresented student populations while advancing institutional retention and transfer metrics aligned with federal program objectives.
