This one-year award funds comprehensive support services designed to enhance postsecondary educational outcomes for disadvantaged students, including low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities.

As a Hispanic-serving institution, STCC utilizes the grant funding to provide services that enhance financial literacy, academic support, and overall student success. The program operates under a five-year grant period framework with annual continuation awards contingent upon demonstrating substantial progress toward stated objectives and compliance with grant conditions. Services are delivered at the Springfield, Massachusetts campus and support the college's broader mission to address educational equity and workforce development within its diverse student population.
