Guilford College TRIO Student Support Services Project Grant Award Summary

Guilford College received a $272,364 Project Grant award dated September 25, 2025, from the Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). The award will support comprehensive student support services through September 24, 2026, at the college's Greensboro, North Carolina campus. Under this federal initiative, Guilford College will deliver supportive services to disadvantaged college students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities, designed to enhance their academic potential and increase postsecondary completion rates.

The SSS Program funding will enable Guilford College to provide integrated support services aimed at improving student retention, graduation rates, and transfer outcomes. These services typically encompass academic advising, financial literacy instruction, tutoring, and other wraparound supports designed to strengthen student success in higher education. As a private liberal arts institution and the only Quaker-founded college in the Southeastern United States, Guilford College will leverage this grant to expand its capacity to serve its disadvantaged student population through evidence-based support programming over the one-year project period.
