Broward college central campus student support services project

The Office of Postsecondary Education awarded Broward College a Project Grant of $272,364 on September 1, 2025, to operate the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042) at its Central Campus in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This one-year award (concluding August 31, 2026) funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. The program delivers targeted interventions to increase student retention and graduation rates, facilitate successful transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and improve academic achievement and financial literacy among participants.

Broward College's Student Support Services Project leverages this federal funding to provide wraparound support services that address barriers to student success and completion in higher education. As a comprehensive community college serving diverse populations in Broward County, the institution utilizes SSS funding to strengthen educational access and persistence for underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students, aligning with the program's core objective of enhancing the potential for successful postsecondary education completion and facilitating upward educational mobility.
