Thriving college students, expanding possibilities: the global inclusive program for adults with intellectual disabilities

Regis University received $436,760 in federal funding from the Office of Postsecondary Education under the Transition Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) into Higher Education program (CFDA 84.407) for the project "Thriving College Students, Expanding Possibilities: The Global Inclusive Program for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities." The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, supports the development and delivery of a comprehensive model transition and postsecondary program designed to facilitate the successful integration of students with intellectual disabilities into higher education at Regis University's Denver, Colorado campus.

Under this TPSID institutional transition program award, Regis University will create inclusive educational pathways and support services for students with intellectual disabilities, leveraging the university's existing strengths as a Catholic, non-profit institution and recognized Minority Institution and Hispanic Servicing Institution. The program aligns with federal priorities to demonstrate high-quality inclusive models, provide equitable geographic distribution of transition services, and partner with relevant agencies and local educational entities to support student success and integration into campus life.
