Cuyahoga community college - metropolitan campus student support services

Cuyahoga Community College - Metropolitan Campus received a $361,920 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). This award 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 transfers from two-year to four-year institutions, and improve academic performance and financial literacy among at-risk student populations at the Cleveland, Ohio campus.

The Student Support Services Program represents a federal investment in institutional capacity to support student success through evidence-based supportive services and wraparound support mechanisms. As a continuation of Tri-C's established TRIO SSS portfolio, this award enables the college to maintain critical support infrastructure for disadvantaged students while advancing national education policy priorities focused on postsecondary access and completion.
