The award funds the Tech Opportunities Program (TOP), a comprehensive student support initiative at the institution's Klamath Falls campus designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities.

The program will deliver supportive services focused on increasing student retention and graduation rates while facilitating academic success and transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions.
