Over $40 Million in Grants Available for Student Success Grant Programs
The Department of Education is providing $44.55 million to fund the FY 2023 awards for the Postsecondary Student Success Grant Program (PSSG). The purpose of the grants is to improve student outcomes by leveraging data and evaluating evidence-based activities to support data-driven decisions and actions by institutional leaders committed to inclusive student success.
A competitive preference priority will be given to applicants who demonstrate they have a plan to improve student outcomes for underserved students by using data to continually assess and improve the effectiveness of funded activities and sustain data-driven continuous improvement processes at the institution after the grant period.
Private, nonprofit colleges are eligible to apply if they are designated under Title III or V of the Higher Education Act as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, Minority-Serving Institutions or Strengthening Institutions Program. Partnerships are eligible to apply if they include: nonprofits that are not an institution of higher education with at least one eligible Title III/V institution; a state, in partnership with at least one eligible Title III/V institution; or a public system of higher education institution.
Technical assistance webinars will be hosted by the Office of Postsecondary Education on August 15 and 31, 2023 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. EDT. Applications due September 25, 2023.
