Butte college - trio SSS classic

Butte College, operating under the Butte-Glenn Community College District, 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 funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, specifically targeting low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution.

The program provides academic advising, financial literacy education, and other supportive services to strengthen student success and academic potential. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, Butte College leverages this funding to serve diverse student populations in the Oroville, California region while contributing to broader institutional goals of educational access and workforce development in northern California.
