Roosevelt university SSS regular

Roosevelt University received a $272,364 Project Grant from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services program (CFDA 84.042), awarded on September 25, 2025, with a completion date of September 24, 2026. This award supports the university's Student Support Services (SSS) program, which provides 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 SSS program delivers on-campus tutoring, academic advising, career counseling, financial aid assistance, and educational workshops to increase student success and facilitate transfer from two-year to four-year institutions. The program serves to foster an inclusive institutional climate that supports students who are limited English proficient, historically underrepresented in higher education, students with disabilities, and other disconnected student populations. These services are intended to improve both academic outcomes and the financial and economic literacy of participating students at Roosevelt University's Chicago, Illinois location.
