"It’s extremely gratifying to know that our TRIO team will continue to have the resources they need to do their vital work."

The U.S. Department of Education has renewed its funding of Utica University’s TRIO Student Support Services program for another five-year period.

TRIO Student Support Services provides individualized academic, career planning, graduate school preparation, financial literacy and other support to students who are classified as first-generation, income-eligible, or receiving a learning accommodation.

“This is great news for the deserving students who benefit significantly from the support services they receive through TRIO. This program makes a real difference for the families we serve, and it’s extremely gratifying to know that our TRIO team will continue to have the resources they need to do their vital work,” Utica University President Todd Pfannestiel says. “We are grateful to our representatives in Congress and to the Department of Education for their efforts toward extending this grant funding through 2030.”

Utica University was one of 962 TRIO Student Support Services programs funded out of more than 1,700 eligible applications, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
