Reedley college trio SSS REG

Reedley College has been awarded $272,364 in federal funding through the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042), administered by the Office of Postsecondary Education, effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026. This Project Grant supports comprehensive student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including those who are low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. The program focuses on increasing student retention and graduation rates while facilitating transfers from two-year to four-year institutions through targeted academic advising, financial literacy education, and holistic student success initiatives.

As a Hispanic-Serving Institution serving California's Central Valley, Reedley College will leverage this funding to provide direct supportive services that enhance the academic potential and overall college completion rates of its vulnerable student populations. The award aligns with the college's existing commitment to comprehensive student support programs and its demonstrated capacity to serve disadvantaged students effectively through multiple federally-funded TRIO initiatives, including prior SSS awards and complementary programs such as Upward Bound and College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) initiatives.
