Malcolm X, Truman, and Harold Washington Colleges Awarded New TRIO Grants to Support Student Success

Malcolm X College, Harry S Truman College, and Harold Washington College have once again been awarded funding through the U.S. Department of Education’s TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) grant program — a major win for student success at City Colleges of Chicago.

The newly released funding aims to improve retention rates for low-income, first-generation college students and students with disabilities. The money is allocated for support services to help students stay in school, graduate, and transfer to four-year institutions including academic tutoring, financial aid, scholarship guidance, career exploration, personal and academic counseling, and mentoring.

We’re proud of the teams at Malcolm X, Truman, and Harold Washington for their ongoing dedication to student achievement.
