Application for grants under student support services program

York Technical College received a $272,364 Project Grant award from the Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042), effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026. This grant supports the delivery of comprehensive student support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, including low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities enrolled at the institution's Rock Hill, South Carolina campus.

The funded services aim to increase student retention and graduation rates while facilitating academic success through targeted supportive interventions. The program provides essential support mechanisms including academic advising, financial literacy education, and student success coaching to help participants complete their postsecondary education programs and increase transfer rates from two-year to four-year institutions. These services are part of a broader federal initiative to enhance postsecondary education access, affordability, and completion for disadvantaged student populations across institutions nationwide.
