Voorhees university student support services project

Voorhees University received a $304,615 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042) for the period of September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. This award supports the Voorhees University Student Support Services Project, which delivers comprehensive supportive services to disadvantaged and underserved student populations, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities at the institution's Denmark, South Carolina campus.

The funded project enhances postsecondary educational outcomes by providing academic support, financial literacy, and student success services designed to increase student retention, improve graduation rates, and facilitate transfers from two-year to four-year institutions. As a Historically Black College and University with a mission centered on educational access for underserved populations, Voorhees University utilizes this federal funding to strengthen the academic potential of its vulnerable student populations and promote completion of postsecondary education programs.
