Universidad del Sagrado Corazón, Inc. received a $709,483 Project Grant award effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) Program (CFDA 84.042). The award funds comprehensive supportive services designed to enhance academic outcomes for disadvantaged college students, with particular focus on low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities enrolled at the San Juan, Puerto Rico-based institution. The program aims to increase student retention and graduation rates while facilitating successful degree completion and transfers from two-year to four-year institutions.

The services delivered under this award encompass academic advising, financial literacy training, tutoring support, and other student success interventions tailored to enhance the postsecondary educational potential of the targeted student populations. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, Universidad del Sagrado Corazón will leverage this funding to strengthen its existing Student Support Services initiatives, contributing to the broader federal objective of expanding postsecondary education access, affordability, and completion for economically and educationally disadvantaged students.
