Student Support Services

The program receives $266,000 in federal funds annually to provide services for 160 students who can qualify by meeting one or more of the federal criteria based on first-generation college status, income eligibility or documented disability.

Qualifying students may

  • meet with a member of the staff for an intake interview and needs assessment
  • receive a specially designed daily planner
  • receive weekly tutoring in small groups
  • attend workshops on a variety of subjects
  • meet regularly or on an as-needed basis with an academic specialist to receive informal academic advising, as well as assistance in such areas as developing and strengthening study techniques, improving motivation, dealing with test-taking stress and building time management skills
  • assistance in course selection
  • assistance with career options
  • GRE and MCAT preperation
  • GRE fee waivers

Additionally, first- and second-year students who are qualified both by income and first-generation college status, who are in good academic standing after the fall semester and who meet additional qualifications may receive a grant award to supplement their financial aid package.
