Broward college students with disabilities student support services project

Broward College received a $272,364 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042). The award funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for students with disabilities, low-income students, and first-generation college students at the Fort Lauderdale, Florida campus. The project delivers targeted interventions focused on increasing student retention and graduation rates, improving academic performance and financial literacy, and facilitating successful transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions.

As a comprehensive community college serving diverse student populations in Broward County, Broward College leverages this TRIO SSS funding to provide integrated student support programming that addresses the specific barriers faced by disadvantaged students pursuing higher education. The grant supports services that enhance student success potential, remove financial and academic obstacles, and strengthen completion outcomes within the institution's postsecondary education programs, consistent with the federal program's mission to increase educational access and affordability for underrepresented student populations.
