Tri-C participates in grant program to help link low-income college students with benefits to help them complete college
Tri-C is one of seven colleges nationally to receive grant funds to pilot a program to link low-income students to benefits to help them complete college. Many low-income community college students stop before achieving their educational goals because of family or financial obligations. This program aims to link them with public benefits, such as food stamps or child care subsidies; which could help them stay in school, improve their employment prospects and become self-supporting.
Learn more about this program from the recent news article below.
