The grant supports a one-year project period extending through August 31, 2026, and funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities at the institution.

The funded program delivers direct student support services aimed at increasing retention and graduation rates, facilitating successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and improving academic potential and financial literacy. Through this SSS initiative, Arkansas Tech University provides targeted interventions and wraparound services to help eligible students overcome barriers to educational success and complete their postsecondary programs.
