The Student Support Services office at Թ is home to two grant programs: Student Support Services and Teacher Prep Student Support Services. Each program is funded in total (100%) by federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education with an annual budget of $261,888 to serve 140 students on campus. The mission of the programs is to assist and retain eligible students in pursuit of a bachelor's degree and ensure good academic standing of the participants they serve. Participants of the TRIO SSS programs are low-income, first-generation college students, and/or students with disabilities.
Student Support Services (SSS) is all about student achievement and success. Our goal is to help you succeed at Թ, help you attain graduation with a bachelor's degree, and gain the necessary skills to either enter the work force or enter graduate or professional school.
