Adrian, MI – Siena Heights University was awarded a five-year grant totaling over $1.6 million dollars from the U.S. Department of Education as part of the TRIO Student Support Services program.
TRIO programs are federally funded educational opportunity programs designed to motivate and support students from disadvantaged backgrounds to prepare for, attend, persist in and graduate from post-secondary education. Siena Heights joins 29 other universities across the State of Michigan to receive this grant.
The TRIO SSS program houses four full-time success coaches, a tutoring suite and a summer bridge program designed to transition high school graduates into their first year at Siena. This project will commence in September of this year.
