Minneapolis Community and Technical College Foundation received a $420,983 Project Grant award from the Office of Postsecondary Education effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). The award supports the continuation of comprehensive support services to 225 disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities at the Minneapolis Community and Technical College campus in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The funded SSS program delivers targeted interventions designed to enhance student retention, graduation rates, and transfer outcomes from two-year to four-year institutions. Support services provided include academic advising, financial literacy training, and individualized student success planning to strengthen academic potential and overall postsecondary completion. This continuation award represents the college's demonstrated capacity to meet program conditions and make substantial progress toward project objectives as part of the five-year federal TRIO grant cycle.
