Augusta university student support services

The Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) awarded Augusta University a Project Grant of $272,364.00 under the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042) for the period September 25, 2025, through September 24, 2026. This award funds the delivery of comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance retention and graduation rates for disadvantaged college students, including low-income students, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities.

The funded services encompass on-campus tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and educational workshops that support student success and persistence through postsecondary education. The grant is structured as a one-year award within a five-year grant period framework typical of TRIO SSS awards, with continuation funding subject to demonstrated progress toward program objectives and fund availability. Services are delivered through the institution's existing academic support infrastructure to support completion of postsecondary degree programs and facilitate student transfer pathways from two-year to four-year institutions.
