The TRIO Student Support Services program specifically targets disadvantaged student populations, and this award's focus on veteran students aligns with the program's authorized track for military-connected students. The grant operates on a standard five-year cycle with annual continuation awards subject to demonstrated progress toward program objectives and fund availability.
