Student support services stem

Salt Lake Community College received a $272,384 Project Grant from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. The award supports the delivery of comprehensive student support services designed to enhance retention and graduation rates for disadvantaged college students, including low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities.

Through this funding, Salt Lake Community College will provide on-campus tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and educational workshops to an anticipated cohort of college students. These services are intended to strengthen students' potential for successfully completing their postsecondary education programs, improve financial and economic literacy, and facilitate transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions. The program operates on a five-year grant cycle with annual continuation awards subject to fund availability and demonstrated progress toward program objectives.
