Prince george's community college- SSS regular project

Prince George's Community College received a $440,388 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. This award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance educational outcomes for disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. The SSS program at Prince George's Community College provides services to increase student retention and graduation rates, facilitate successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and strengthen students' academic potential and financial literacy capabilities.

The program delivers targeted interventions that address barriers to postsecondary completion for underserved populations at the Upper Marlboro, Maryland campus. Services are designed to support students' successful completion of their enrolled postsecondary education programs while improving overall student success outcomes. As a minority-serving institution with extensive experience administering federal TRIO programs, Prince George's Community College leverages this funding to extend educational access and support to its diverse student population of approximately 24,000 students annually.
