About the company
Cleveland Community College, doing business as Trustees Of Cleveland Community College, is a state-controlled institution of higher learning based in Shelby, North Carolina, that operates as a federal grant recipient delivering STEM education, workforce development, and student support services to low-income and disadvantaged populations. The college acts as a prime grant recipient (89% of recent awards) and occasionally participates in sub-grant arrangements; it holds no federal contracts and does not compete on contract vehicles.
The college's customer base centers on federal education and workforce programs. The Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education dominates the grant portfolio with ten awards spanning multiple federal grant programs: TRIO Student Support Services (CFDA 84.042), the Talent Search Program, and Education Stabilization Fund (ESF) pandemic response. The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education, the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration, and the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration round out the active customer set, accounting for 79% of all awards. Combined obligated dollars across all grants total $42.9 million.
Recent grant work reflects the college's mission in STEM workforce development and student access. Cleveland Community College received a $750,000 Project Grant from NSF's Division of Undergraduate Education (CFDA 47.076) effective March 15, 2026 through February 28, 2031, to deliver need-based STEM scholarships of up to $15,000 annually to at least 120 low-income students pursuing associate and bachelor degrees in biology, data science, or computer science across a five-institution collaborative that includes the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, Gaston College, and South Piedmont Community College. The award funds faculty mentoring, success coaching, tutoring, career services, and peer cohort development through shared coursework and undergraduate research. The college also received a $272,364 Project Grant from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under TRIO Student Support Services (CFDA 84.042) effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026, providing academic advising, financial literacy education, and student success interventions for low-income, first-generation, and students with disabilities. A $770,273 ESF grant (July 2021 to July 2022) supported pandemic response and institutional stabilization. Sub-grant arrangements include training and technical infrastructure work; an August 2024 sub-award from Albemarle U.S., Inc. covered machinery operation training courses, and a December 2022 sub-award addressed centralized management switching infrastructure.
Award activity has remained flat year over year from 2022 through 2026 (one award annually), with two awards facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete renewal. The college operates exclusively in the federal grant space, not competing on federal contracts or agency-wide contract vehicles.
