TRIO Student Support Services Program Award Summary

Eastern Michigan University received a $272,364 Project Grant award from the 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 program delivers comprehensive supportive services to disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the university in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

The SSS program provides targeted interventions designed to enhance student retention and graduation rates while facilitating transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. Core services typically include academic advising, financial literacy training, career counseling, and other supportive services aimed at increasing postsecondary education completion and transfer success. As a continuation award under the five-year TRIO SSS grant cycle, this funding supports the ongoing delivery of these evidence-based support services to maximize student academic potential and overall success in higher education.
