Promoting student success on the susquehanna university campus

Susquehanna University 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 award funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance student retention, graduation rates, and transfer outcomes for disadvantaged student populations, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the university's Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania campus.

The grant supports the delivery of targeted student success initiatives that increase academic potential, provide financial literacy education, and furnish wraparound support services to help participants successfully complete their postsecondary education programs. As a continuation award under the TRIO Student Support Services Program, the funding enables Susquehanna University to maintain and expand evidence-based interventions that directly address barriers to completion and facilitate student progression, particularly for underrepresented populations in higher education.
