Chabot college trio student support services stem program

Chabot College received a $272,364 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042). This initiative delivers comprehensive supportive services to disadvantaged college students at the Hayward, California campus, with a specific focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines. The program provides targeted academic support, financial literacy services, and student success interventions designed to increase retention rates, improve graduation outcomes, and facilitate transfer pathways from the two-year community college to four-year institutions.

The award supports services for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled in postsecondary programs at Chabot College. The TRIO Student Support Services program is part of the federal government's broader initiative to enhance postsecondary education access and completion for disadvantaged populations. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, Chabot College leverages this funding to strengthen its commitment to student success in STEM fields while addressing persistent educational equity gaps within its student community.
