Federal Grant Award Summary: TRIO Student Support Services

Madison Area Technical College District (MATC) received a $272,364 Project Grant award 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. The award supports comprehensive student support services specifically designed for students with disabilities at MATC's Madison, Wisconsin campus. Under this federal grant program, MATC delivers targeted interventions to enhance academic success, increase retention and graduation rates, and improve student transfer outcomes from two-year to four-year institutions.

The TRIO Student Support Services Program provides participating institutions with funding to deliver supportive services that address the needs of disadvantaged and underserved student populations. MATC's award will fund services and support mechanisms designed to strengthen academic performance, financial literacy, and overall student success for disabled students enrolled in the college's programs. As a child award within the Wisconsin Technical College System Board structure, MATC leverages this federal investment as part of the broader regional technical education and workforce development infrastructure to support postsecondary education access and completion for its target student population.
