Yamhill valley campus and woodburn location SSS project

Chemeketa 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), with an award date of September 25, 2025, and ultimate completion date of September 24, 2026. The project delivers comprehensive student support services across Chemeketa's Yamhill Valley Campus and Woodburn Location in Oregon to enhance academic success and program completion for disadvantaged college students, including low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities.

Under this award, Chemeketa provides on-campus academic tutoring, advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and supportive programming designed to increase student retention and graduation rates while facilitating transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. The SSS program fosters an institutional climate supporting success for historically underrepresented student populations, including limited English proficient students, students from underrepresented groups, and other disconnected students. These services address financial and economic literacy while supporting students' progression through their postsecondary education programs at the identified campus locations.
